Analysis of While Nature Sang
Among the trees I had to please
Myself and climb to see
Each branch up high as I went by
What youth had kept from me.
The wind was soft when high aloft,
I heard some birds bring songs
To creatures there and everywhere
While nature sang along.
I quietly climbed down to be
So as to not disturb
The nature choir when I was higher,
Began with joyful birds!
