I forget worries and cares
The unrest in the world I see
When I look at fields and flowers
When I behold a tree
I forget what nags a day
A sigh, a tear and cry
When I see a galaxy of stars
A golden moon in the sky
I forget jarring cacophony
The discord and the strain
When I hear a stream gurgle
And the patter of summer rain
I forget what ails the heart
With the breath of the breeze
It soothes and calms the spirit
It brings quiet and peace
I forget worries and care
When in Nature's company
Disarmed by her gentle wonders
Her beauty and her melody.

I forget worries and cares
The unrest in the world I see
When I look at fields and flowers
When I behold a tree
I forget what nags a day
A sigh, a tear and cry
When I see a galaxy of stars
A golden moon in the sky
I forget jarring cacophony
The discord and the strain
When I hear a stream gurgle
And the patter of summer rain
I forget what ails the heart
With the breath of the breeze
It soothes and calms the spirit
It brings quiet and peace
I forget worries and care
When in Nature's company
Disarmed by her gentle wonders
Her beauty and her melody.
