"Nature brightens round me"

"How sweetly nature.. brightens round me...
How the sun's shining.. how the fields gleam.

Blossoms are bursting.. from every leaf...
Thousands of voices.. from bushes beneath.

Your splendour blesses.. the fields so fresh...
The whole wide world.. in a blossoming mist.

So the lark loves.. singing on high...
And flowers at dawn.. the scented sky.

'Goethe'
