NATURE

Upon a psaltery Sun

Is the order of the day

The sunny dawn

Can never be erased

What a mighty dawn

That sets the voyaging Guys

Going on the shores

Of isolated poles

The study of the Nature

Is beyond my comprehension

I believe the steps of the mighty

And the steady moves of their motions

Can the earth breathe?

Can they sing the songs of the Mars?

Nature is inevitably complete

Who can fathom its infinite?

I raise the songs of the mighty

In the Island of threat

Who can call those things?

That is not?

As though they were?

A law of Nature

Proven by divinity

Comprehended by humanity

Extended by serenity

Accounted by professionalism

A product of nature

Can never cease to exist

DESCRIPTION: The poem is talking about the profound nature of the creation. The wonders of God’s creation and infinite wisdom of God that is beyond human comprehension:

From line 1-4: The poet is trying to paint the picture of summer holidays in the western world when the sun surfaced and the people rally together under the sun for celebration of the season with musical instrument blaring in the cool atmosphere where different activities and enjoyment are taken place. The poet is also letting us to know that it is a daily affair when the season comes for it.

From line 5-8: The poet describes how the celebrants of the season voyages on shores of the sea with their flying boat and canoe during the beautiful dim evening sun that dazzles like blue moon of the day. He also described the margins the voyaging guys will not exceed during their voyage as the isolated poles.

From line 9-12: The poet is relating the site of the event to the study of Nature which he sees as what is beyond his human understanding. He also said that the site of the events has made him believe the steps people take especially tourists in discovering things. The mighty here describes the inventors and researchers like scientist. The poet is now trying to understand the passion behind their motions and according to him that is what instigates these mighty men to invent new things out of nature as he views the site of the events on summer season.

From line 13-16: The poet goes further to ask rhetorical questions about nature. If the earth can breathe and if they can sing the songs of the planetary body Mars, attributing human quality to an inanimate object in the questions which is a figure of speech known as personification. The poet also let us knows that the creation of Nature is certainly complete but though man has not finished the discovery of its existence which is inexhaustible mystery to discover.

From line 17-20: The poet is trying to describe how he narrates the rhythmical steps of inventors and researchers where people are novice to the ideas and these sounds foolish to them. Still on this, the poet continues with his rhetorical question which God the answer is concerning nature emanating from the supernatural.

From line 21-24: He further describes the theory of invention from supernatural as a law of nature which divinity has approved for man’s sustenance. And man being a sharp creature understands the thing approved for him through discovery.

From line 1-4: The poet describes how men applied his wisdom to develop those discoveries and valued them as well as use them to solve his problem. This makes man professional over his domain, describing man and his environment to be a product of nature.
