Nature is what we see

'Nature' is what we see —
The Hill — the Afternoon —
Squirrel — Eclipse — the Bumble bee —

Nay — Nature is Heaven —
Nature is what we hear —
The Bobolink — the Sea —
Thunder — the Cricket —

Nay — Nature is Harmony —
Nature is what we know —
Yet have no art to say —

So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.

– Emily Dickenson (1830 - 1886)
