Inspired - - - - - - Mysterious is Nature Mysterious her ways Seen sometimes putting on Robes fresh and green And sometimes brown Unfolding flowers at morn Now with dews of eve Shrivel them as day is done Sometimes in abundance Sometimes in meagerness And earth is seen undone When famine-like monster Robes her of her richness Once in a nation it so happened That land struck barren and fruitless To fight the famine People left with no grain Melted down thence The heart of a rich man Under the pang of famine Children flocked To the rich man's house To get loaves of bread And he acted with benevolence But people fought Amongst themselves Struggled hard to get crumb or crust But a little girl Nor struggled nor fought Waited for her turn And got the smallest loaf at last Returned happy and content To her surprise When she cut it She found two cents in it Went back at once to return it Being surprised and pleased At her honesty The rich man gave her Two cents more as a reward Like patience brings its own reward….
