Whisper sweet sonnet for nature doth sing
Of orange and yellow butterfly wings
Of the caterpillars travels to be all he can be
Whisper sweet sonnet for nature doth sing

I once held a nestling that fell from its nest
A lady bug landed upon my raised breast
The mockingbird listened to my awful chirps
Responding to me with his song of alert

Whisper sweet sonnet for nature doth sing
Of bears in the blueberries just after spring
The salmon that dance as if they have wings
Whisper sweet sonnet for nature doth sing

Calling to a lynx she sat ever so still, she sat
Quietly watching me from her distant hill
A moose along with her child ever off course
Ate from my barn due to winters cold force

So whisper sweet sonnet for nature doth sing
Of caterpillars an butterfly wings, bears and salmon
Mockingbird’s song, moose and lynx their voices ring on
Whispering sweet sonnets as natures true song
