WHAT WE SEE THE WORLD (POEM)
Good morning everyone present here. Distinguished dignitaries esteemed judges , respected
teachers and my dear friends. We feel exceedingly proud and privileged to have an opportunity to
recite a poem. The title of this poem is ‘THE GLADNESS OF NATURE ‘ It has been composed by
Madam Hanie , our English literature teacher. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
The world outside is a wondrous place,
Filled with many miracles to see.
It's a place to hear and smell and feel.
It's a place so unfettered and free.
Is this a time to be cloudy and sad,
When our mother nature laughs around;
When even the deep blue heavens looks glad,
And gladness breathes from the blossom ground
Close your eyes and you can see
the way the world's suppose to be
Sunrise on a clear blue sky
fields of daisies, soft butterflies
There are notes of joy from the hang-bird and wren,
and the gossip of swallows through all the sky;
the ground-squirrel gaily chirps by his den,
and the wilding bee hums merrily by
The clouds at play in the azure space
and their shadows at play on the bright-green vale;
and here they stretch to the frolic chase,
and there they roll on the easy vale
Tall trees, leaves glistening with dew
streams and rivers flowing thru
Birds singing and flying high
gentle breezes with cloudless skies
There’s dance of leaves in that aspen bower,
There’s a titter of winds in that beechen tree,
There’s a smile on the fruit , and a smile on the flower,
and a laugh from the brook that runs to the sea
Snow caps on the mountain tops
valleys of green that never stop
Ocean waves and pure white sand
animals grazing on the land
Come, walk with me into the forest's blessed abode,
To see the wondrous beauty the Earth has bestowed;
We'll bask in the surreal splendor that surrounds us,
And listen to nature composing the forest's grand opus,
And look at the broad-faced sun, how he smiles
on the dewy earth that smiles in his ray,
on the leaping waters and young isles;
Ay , look and he’ll smile thy gloom away.
Sitting to-day in the sunshine
That touched me with fingers of love,
I thought of the manifold blessings
God scatters on earth, from above
Feel the wind in your hair
smell the flowers, blooms everywhere
See the beauty, today is new
Enjoy nature-God's gift to you.
Thank you !
