How astonishing is the chance Of leaving this world impress a sense Of natural beauties on us; hallelujah! I think of green fields I muse With the greatest affection on every flower I have known from my infancy Hallelujah! Their shapes and colours are as new to me As if I had just created them With a superhuman fancy Hallelujah! It is because they are connected With the most thoughtless and the happiest Moments of life. How astonishing is the chance Of leaving this world impress a sense Of natural beauties on us! The simple flowers of our spring Are what I want to see again Hallelujah!
