Sweeping free through hills and valleys,
The up and down with both sides seen.
Moss giving life to lifeless rocks.
Meadows echoing with the green.
–
Green is the colour of nature’s birth,
In winter and in summer days.
Rebirth thrives where land is burnt,
While sunlight glints on leaves and blades.
–
So many shades of verdant hues,
Supporting nature’s scenery.
Such a gentle and pleasing colour,
Greens growing proud in greenery.
–
Green is where life is found,
Soft behind the brighter flower.
A canvas for nature’s beauty,
Gracing every copse and bower.
–
The sun draws out the countless shades,
Variegations dark to light.
Nature flourishes and feeds,
Presenting all from dull to bright.
–
We each take in this wondrous sight
Of beauty, reflected in the leaves.
The joy that greenery brings to us
Is what each of us perceives.
