To  Nature

It  may indeed be phantasy, when I

Essay to draw from all created things

Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely  clings;

And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie

Lessons of love and earnest piety.

So let it be; and if the wide world rings,

In mock of  this brief, it brings

Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain  perplexity.

So will I build my altar in the fields,

And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be,

And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields

Shall be the incense I will  yield to Thee,

Thee only  God! and thou shalt not despise

Even  me, the priest  of this  poor sacrifice.

        -Samuel Taylor Coleridge                                (1 X 20=20)
