Since That Is Nature's Way

By their deciduous mother tree on the grass they do lay The brown leaves of the Autumn have gone to decay The magpie is piping in the dawn cool and gray And life it goes on since that is Nature's way Like her Seasons her life forms to Nature come and go Yet so little of her ways we can claim to know I marvel at the wonders in Nature I see But Nature remains as a mystery to me The beauty in Nature is ours to enjoy I first fell in love with her as a young boy And though the father of time mercy for us don't show My wonderment of her only seems to grow The brown leaves of Autumn lay near their mother tree And the fate that befell them is also for me.
