-- Nature’s Majesty --

John Herlihy

In the pathways of the forest, mystery,

In the sands of the ocean’s shore, melody,

In the budding of the bloom, simplicity,

In the openness of a clear day, felicity,

In the depths of the blue sky, bounty,

In the passage of earth’s sun, eternity,

In the glow of the blue moon, ghostly,

In the darkness of the night, obscurity,

In the plenitude of the galaxies, infinity,

In the descent of the twilight, finality,

In the folds of nature’s dress, majesty,

In the truth of nature’s laws, authenticity,

We take note of all in the universe we feel,

What I cannot express and cannot conceal.
