THE steadfast coursing of the stars,
The waves that ripple to the shore,
The vigorous trees which year by year Spread upwards more and more ;
The jewel forming in the mine, The snow that falls so soft and light,
The rising and the setting sun,
The growing glooms of night,
All-natural things both live and move In natural peace that is their own ;
Only in our disordered life Almost is she unknown.
