    Nature, --.... Her song of gratitude is sung by spring's awakening hours,Her summer offers at Thy shrine its earliest, loveliest flowers;Her autumn brings its ripened fruits, in glorious luxury given,While winter's silver heights reflect Thy brightness back to heaven!

    There is in every human heart Some not completely barren part, Where seeds of truth and love might grow, And flowers of generous virtue flow; To plant, to watch, to water there, This be our duty, be our care.
