To Nature - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 To Nature It may indeed be phantasy, when I Essay to draw from all created things Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings; And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie Lessons of love and earnest piety. So let it be; and if the world rings In mock of this belief, it brings Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity. So will I build my altar in the fields, And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be, And the sweet fragrance that the wild flowers yields Shall be the incense I will yield to thee, Thee only God and thou shalt not despise Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice. |
