Excerpt from Nature's Great Works Nature's Great Works The seas and the wilds of the ocean, Are reapers to reap and to sow;From the bowlders they ate the deepest, Where they toss ships to and fro.O! the greatness of these blue watersBespeaks their own tongue and soul;As the echoes and winds about themOut into Eternity they roll. The night with its darkness and beauty, As the stars in heavens are clear, Are the beauties of their impressions, Thereon their own visions appear.Those wondrous and beautiful ripplesAre enhanced as the sun-kissed dewWhere the makers of Heaven are given, As the greatest man ever knew. Strong may the waves of the oceanBlend with their echoing streamsAnd master the tide of their billows, As on towards their way to ravines.The tide with its breakers and charmersRebuilt by own Nature's great works, Deep into the mysteries of wonder, These waves are creeping with mirth.
