A Secular Hymn
Ever feel left out in Church? Here's a little something to take along with you on your next visit.All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
Atoms make them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
All due to natural selection,
It made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
A freshly baked bird* pie.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
Laws of physics made each one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
Biology, I’d say.
We evolved eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is evolution,
Which turned out pretty well.
* Don't ask me, take it up with MiMi.
