Classic Poem

I bowed to a tree, and his thought unto me
Was, " Bless you, O bless you, O bless you! "
I smiled at the sky, and the blue seemed to cry,
" O bless you, O bless you, O bless you! "
I chirped to a bird, and the answer I heard
Was, " Bless you, O bless you, O bless you! "
I sang everywhere, and the echoing air
Rang, " Bless you, O bless you, God bless you! "

The mountain and vale, the dell and the dale,
Proclaim to mankind, " O God bless you! "
The land and the sea, in beauty and glee,
Forever seem saying, " God bless you! "
The noon and the night, in dreamful delight
Of sunshine and stars, say, " God bless you! "
A paean of mirth doth engirdle the earth
Of " Bless you, O bless you, God bless you! "
