The Repeated Refrains of Nature

Those who contemplate
the beauty of the earth find
reserves of strength that will endure
as long as life lasts.

There is symbolic as well as
actual beauty in the migration
of the birds, the ebb and flow of the
tides, the folded bud ready
for spring.

There is something infinitely healing
in the repeated refrains of nature —
the assurance that
dawn comes after night, and
spring after the winter.

- Rachel Carson
