In Temperate Forest, <br />Neither cold nor warm. <br />You can take serene rest, <br />Expanding your arm. <br /> <br />Humming with lively life, <br />Birds call from the trees. <br />In their delight and strife; <br />Insects rustle like breeze. <br /> <br /> <br />The thick leaves of forest, <br />Cut sunlight in drops. <br />Seeing the peaceful nest, <br />Heart happily throbs. <br /> <br />Honey-suckle, blue-bell, <br />Bloom and laugh in gay. <br />Hazel, dog-wood, sorrel, <br />Enjoying the day!<br /><br />Neela Nath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-tempreate-forest/
