Part 1 — THE WORLD.
Reading edition
Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World, With the wonderful water around you curled, And the wonderful grass upon your breast— World, you are beautifully drest!
The wonderful air is over me, And the wonderful wind is shaking the tree; It walks on the water, and whirls the mills, And talks to itself on the top of the hills. —John Greenleaf Whittier.
