The Spell of Nature, Cast

Sailing along.
Oh the dipping and the swaying of the sails!
Oh the glory and the power of the seas—
At their best!

Longing to sing—

Yet the swishing of the waters passing by,

And the breezes’ soothing coolness, hold the voice
Hunted, still.

Oh, just to move!
The hypnotic trance of Nature’s clinging grasp,
And the growing splendour of the passing scene,
Still the limbs.

Out of the blue—

Serenely gliding, falling, rising—a bird.

The final touch, the last small grain, to turn
The balance.

A masterpiece—
Painted by the marvelous hand of Nature,
Where once lay naught of beauty, for less, life—
Finished now.

Nature’s triumph.
Oh the peacefulness, the thankfulness, it brings!
How complete and how enduring the result!
Infinite.
