EARTH, by                    
First Line: Earth turns no beaten wanderer from her breast
Last Line: All the strength and all the love the earth bestows.
Subject(s): Earth; World


Earth turns no beaten wanderer from her breast,
But heals them with her sunshine and her rain:
She comforts them with songs of bubbling brooks
As she turns their faces toward the sun again.

They feel kindness in the warmth of morning sunshine
As it coaxes smiles from every tiny flower;
They see it in the brightness of the rainbow
As it comes to cheer them after every shower.

They hear from every whisper of the branches,
They sense from the sweet fragrance of the rose,
They see in the pure beauty of the lily
All the strength and all the love the earth bestows.
