OUR KINSMAN.

Alive in this world of beautiful forms,

No form is alien to men, or apart,

Each morning sunbeam our being warms,

Each tree is a kinsman of friendly heart.

We love the clear bird songs that fill our ear

With melody ringing for us alone.

The cricket’s chirp is for us, and we hear

A human voice in the rivulet’s tone.

Each lovely thing of nature finds room
