Tree with a Bird in it — Ain't Nature Wonderful! by Edgar Guest

_Edgar Guest_ (Who has an air of absolute belief in the True, the Optimistic, and the Checkbook.

He seems yet a little ill at ease among the others, and to be looking about restlessly for Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

) AIN'T NATURE WONDERFUL!

How dear to me are home and wife, The dear old Tree I used to Love, The Pear it shed on starting life And God's Outdoors so bright above!

For Virtue gets a high reward, Noble is all good Scenery, So I will root for Virtue hard, For God, for Nature, and for Me!
