There is many a charming brook,
That becomes a beautiful stream,
As it winds with many a crook,
And with beautiful trout may teem.
There are oceans mighty in size,
And many a beautiful lake,
With water as blue as the skies,
And that beautiful pictures make.
There are mountain ranges sublime,
And beautiful forests of trees;
There are rocks grown hoary with time,
And beautiful sights on the seas.
Many brilliant diamonds are found,
And beautiful rubies and pearls,
And many rich things in the ground,
As beautiful nature unfurls.
Gold is difficult to obtain,
But a beautiful thing to own,
And tho it is hard to retain,
Few more beautiful things are known.
A lovely and delightful thing,
Is a beautiful city park,
Which does pleasure to thousands bring,
And a beautiful landscape mark.
But most charming of things men see,
Gardens of beautiful flowers,
Can fill his heart with ecstacy
And beautiful thoughts for hours.
A landscape of hill and of dale,
And beautiful river of blue,
With steamers and ships under sail,
Is indeed a beautiful view.
There are pretty and tasteful homes,
And beautiful capitols grand,
Embellished with towers and domes,
And built on beautiful land.
There’s sculpture in marble and stone,
Beautiful in work and design,
And monuments standing alone,
Of beautiful progress a sign.
