Wonder of Nature
<Lord of the Flies> by William Golding
Once more,
Amid the breeze,
The shouting,
The slanting sunlight on the high mountain,
Was shed that glamour,
That strange invisible light of friendship,
Adventure,
Content.
[Page 39]
Trees,
Forced by the damp heat,
Found too little soil for growth,
Fell early and decayed:
Creepers cradled them,
And new saplings searched a way up.
[Page 39]
There was sudden bright explosion,
And corkscrew trail across the sky;
Then darkness again
And stars.
