The Peace Of Wild Things by Wendell Berry.

When despair grows

in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

    Your voice is great. If you can teach me to learn English, I will be very grateful. If you want to learn Chinese, I can do my best to help you.😊😊
