 be tas ligbt Nature Nature brings us green trees and fresh flowers. The robin that sweetly doth sing, The refreshing and blue April showers; These things she brings in the spring. T hen comes in old lazy midsummer, With its clear and azure blue sky; With its streams and small brooks ever flowing As they peacefully pass us by. Old Nature however ne’er leaves us These beauties and pleasures for all, But snatching them away from us, Sends to us the cool and crisp fall; When the dark, dreary clouds hang o’er us Like a huge magnificent pall. Then lastly she brings us the winter With its beautiful, sparkling snows, The season we want to be ended As colder and sterner it grows; But the comforting thought then comes to us That e’er many more days pass o’er, The Nature that brought us the winter Will bring us the springtime once more. Hautmtr? Urtgljt’s nlUoqug (With Apologies to Hamlet) To be or not to be; that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler to live and work and work On memory work, Or end it all and let things be What they want to be. Or better still keep plodding on, Learn lots of dope that was played on the stage Many generations in the past, Which was never intended to be read And analyzed b coming generations Living on the opposite side of the globe. That’s what modern people call education, Such is life. Ain’t it wonderful ?
