The New World

There is life and beauty in everything!

Nature flaunts her wealth and beauty before the earthling.

It revives the mind,

Making it leave all miseries behind;

The soul sighs in tranquillity,

For the world is breathtaking in all its simplicity;

The trees are bright and gay,

Blooming and mirthful in their sway;

The leaves bear droplets of rain;

The birds dry their feathers in vain;

Squirrels scamper and scurry,

To find shelter in a hurry;

The busy mortals rush inside,

Casting not a glance aside,

At the glorious new world that lay,

Right in their way!
