Virelai: the Beauty of Nature

Amidst the woods, the rustling leaves, The soothing sound, a soul receives, Inhale the scents of nature's bloom, A healing balm that lifts the gloom, Nature's beauty, a sight to see, It fills the heart with harmony, With each step taken on the sod, A peaceful calm, it brings to God. The waves that crash upon the shore, A symphony that I adore, The salty breeze upon my face, A kiss of nature's sweet embrace, The seagulls soaring up above, A perfect scene of peace and love, With each wave that ebbs and flows, A tranquil heart within me glows. The mountains standing tall and proud, Their rugged beauty calling loud, The echoing songs of the birds, A joyful sound that needs no words, The mountain air so crisp and clean, A wonderland of nature's dream, In every mountain, valley, and glen, A pure and simple joy within.
