Man is nature's child. He is her firstborn, her best- Loved. Man is in her good graces. He doesn't know, he often surmises That he is behind on the rent, That he has over-spent his Allowance. He does not see! The purpose of man is to live; The purpose of a giving tree is To give. No coldness can take Refuge in nature's heart, no Spite can contort her lovely face. The earth's an easy, forgiving place; Made for men to live and love, Made to house a lucky race.

Nature's Child
Man is nature's child. He is her firstborn, her best- Loved. Man is in her good graces. He doesn't know, he often surmises That he is behind on the rent, That he has over-spent his Allowance. He does not see! The purpose of man is to live; The purpose of a giving tree is To give. No coldness can take Refuge in nature's heart, no Spite can contort her lovely face. The earth's an easy, forgiving place; Made for men to live and love, Made to house a lucky race.
share, don't steal, blah blah blah Hmm, this one's rather naive, isn't it?
