© by Nick Peros (b. 1963)

Sweet is the scent of fragrant pine
Language: English 
Sweet is the scent of fragrant pine
As I walk through wondrous woods
Fresh is the sound of laughing streams 
As I hear the valleys voice
Apples of gold hang ripe with fruit and trees their sunlight bear
Lilies bloom in full array while wood and sky rejoice
Clear I see the Master's hand 
His garden sprung with life
My heart too is full of song
In this morning Paradise.
