Sonnet: Nature Is More Powerful

Who can prevent the clouds from sailing past, Across the Moon’s most splendid, golden face? Who can prevent the wind from blowing fast, Across the treeless, sandy desert’s place? Who can prevent the ocean’s rising tre, nd The endless dashing waves upon the shore? Who can prevent the scorching Sun or bend, The Sunbeam’s from striking the earth before? All nature’s ways are far from man’s control; The human race is one in her eyesight; To reset Nature should not be man’s goal; Nature is kind and does things always right. ’Tis man who builds his walls between neighbors! A heart of envy, malintent harbors.
