'Ode to Lake District' by Tan Mei Yin <br /> <br /> Only then do I know <br /> what Beauty is <br /> when you spread out <br /> like cool green silk, <br /> draping over the humble <br /> earth upon which I <br /> stood <br /> <br /> I can hear you <br /> the songs that <br /> you have sung me to <br /> sleep, <br /> the birds are your <br /> voices, <br /> the water your humming <br /> The flowers, children of yours <br /> welcome me, <br /> sways and dances in your arms <br /> <br /> Mirror-like lakes <br /> witness your magnificence <br /> under the blazing sky, <br /> the grace of God shining <br /> on a glorious you. <br /> In yourself, a paradise, <br /> that Man for all his sins, <br /> dreamt of.<br /><br />Mandy Chen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-lake-district/
