It was an evening when the sun had passed behind the hill <br /> But a cloud stood straight above <br /> And cast the sun yet through the leaves, <br /> And lit the sky with an amber glow <br /> As all the leaves of variant species, <br /> Stood still within this realm of beauty. <br /> There was no sound from man or beast to bid no doubt. <br /> That man and nature still adhere <br /> To the laws that God made clear.<br /><br />Carl Reiner Schultz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/serene/
