As I wander’d lone through nature,
I admir’d the beauty of a Minnesota snowflake,
Its singular, crystalline essence glimmer’d in the sunlight,
Till its fragile body melted on my sleeve.
I admir’d the raw power of the Mississippi, glistening in the sunset,
Its pure, golden waters meandering through fertile plains,
Shaping America’s landscape.
I admir’d the intricacy of a seashell,
Wash’d up by the Pacific’s pounding surf,
Its spiral captur'd and drew me in.
I admir’d the delicate leaf of a New England Maple,
Held it within my grasp,
And traced its frail veins with my fingertip,
As I wander’d lone through nature.
