Sick of the crowd, the toil, the strife,
Sweet nature! now I turn to thee,
Seeking for renovated life,
By brawling brook and shady tree.

I knew thy rocks had spells of old,
To turn the wanderer's wo to calm,
And in thy waters, clear and cold,
My heated brow would seek its balm.

And through the long, long summer hours,
When every bird was on its wing,
I sought amid thy thousand flowers,
The sweet renewal of life's spring.

That sacred freshness of the heart,
That made the tide of youth so strong,
When, yet untaught by shame or art,
We fear'd no guile and knew no wrong.

Thou, nature, that magician be,
Give me the old time peace, the joy
That warm'd my heart, and set me free,
A wild, but not a wayward, boy.

And I will bless thee with a song,
As fond as hers, that idle bird,
That sings above me all day long,
As if she knew I watch'd and heard.

    This is really incredible! The song structure is classic and fits perfectly with Simms' words.. The melody, chords, instrumentation are spot-on. The most clever part, for me, is the "chorus" effect in the vocals, because it sounds like a group of people singing together. Some songs are made even better by this effect, so that the more voices on it, the better, and even the more out-of-tune voices on it, even better still. Nice job!
