GOOD kindly Mother Nature playsA
No favorites but smiles for allB
Who care to tread her pleasant waysA
And listen to the song birds' callB
The tulips and the violets growC
For all the world to gaze uponD
With beauty are the hills aglowC
Not for a few but everyoneE
-
Her grass grows green for rich and poorF
For proud and humble high and lowC
Beside the toiler's cottage doorG
Her morning glories sweetly growC
In palace or in tenementH
Her sunbeams just as gayly danceI
No special charm to one is sentJ
No favored few possess her glanceI
-
Her skies are blue for one and allB
Her flowers for every mortal bloomK
Her rains upon all creatures fallB
For all the world is her perfumeK
The rich man gets no sweeter smileL
Than does the ragged barefoot boyM
Yes all who live and love the whileL
May Mother Nature's charms enjoyM
-
Ah what a lesson we may learnN
From kindly Mother Nature's waysA
A smiling face we seldom turnN
To strangers when we meet their gazeA
A kindly word we seldom speakO
Except unto a favored fewP
And some return we often seekO
For every kindly deed we doP
