 mountains, green meadows, sunny brooks, the ocean when 

 its waves softly ripple along the sandy beach, or when 

 pounding the rocky cliffs with its thunder and roar, the 

 birds of the field, waterfalls, the rainbow, the dawn, the 

 noonday, and the evening sunset but CHILDREN above 

 them all."
