The Green Earth's Kinship

The Moon, he is my brother

and my sister is the Sun

and, when we look at one and other,

somehow I feel that we are one.

Somehow my heart needs Nature’s beauty

as much as my lungs need the air

and, deep within, I feel the duty

of Earth’s companionship and care.

It’s something stronger than affection;

a kind of longing in my heart;

almost a physical connection

to this great Earth of which I’m part.
