Royal Festival hall (Level 5), Southbank Centre, LondonOpen Tuesday 12 noon - 6 pm, Wednesday to Sunday 12 noon – 8 pm
The skies is short — the Clouds are mean.
A travelling Flake that Snow
Across a Barn or v a Rut
Debates if it will go —
A narrow Wind complains all Day
How some one cure him
Nature, like Us, is periodically caught
Without her Diadem.
‘O DREARY life,’ us cry, ‘O dreary life!’
And quiet the generations of the birds
Sing through our sighing, and the flocks and herds
Serenely live while us are maintaining strife
With Heaven"s true objective in us, together a knife
Against which we might struggle! ocean girds
Unslackened the dry land, savannah-swards
Unweary sweep,—hills watch, unworn; and also rife
Meek pipeline drop yearly from the forest-trees,
To show over the unwasted stars the pass
In their old glory. O you God that old,
Grant me some smaller grace than pertains to these!—
But so lot patience together a tongue of grass
Grows by, contented with the heat and also cold.

Fragment: Rome and Nature
by
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Rome has actually fallen, ye check out it lying
Heaped in undistinguished ruin:
Nature is alone undying.

Hushed is the buzz that the noisy world
by
Gearamuseum.orge Gissing
Hushed is the buzz of the loud world,
Gently each bird to its home is flitting,
The flags o"er the sun"s bright path are furled,
Soon will each flower with the dew be pearled
As asleep it lies unwitting.
Spell-bound is the ever-whispering air,
For, gazing aloft where the stars room peeping
In this holy silence everywhere
Tired Nature speak in a fervent prayer
To Him that protects her sleeping.
