Hills and valleys robed in green,Winding rivers flow between,There the rustic rocks are seen Where the water splashes;On the rising silvery spray,Rainbow colors seem to play,Painted by the orb of day, In the sunlight flashes. Soft the kisses of her lips,Sweet the honeydew she sips,From her hand of mercy drips Every single her arms embracing me,I am safe as I can be,When I come on bended knee, Natures God confessing. B. E.

In lonely forests, far below, The timid deer sports day by day, Where raging torrents
