Robert Burns: Quotes about nature

“Beauty's of a fading nature
Has a season and is gone!”

“The voice of Nature loudly cries,
And many a message from the skies,
That something in us never dies.”

“Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears
Her noblest work she classes, O:
Her prentice han' she tried on man,
An' then she made the lasses, O.”

“When Nature her great masterpiece designed,
And framed her last, best work, the human mind,
Her eye intent on all the wondrous plan,
She formed of various stuff the various Man.”

“I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union.”

“Gie me ae spark o' Nature's fire,
That's a' the learning I desire.”

“The social, friendly, honest man,
Whate'er he be,
'Tis he fulfills great Nature's plan,
And none but he!”

“To see her is to love her,
And love but her forever;
For Nature made her what she is,
And never made anither!”
