Marvels of nature
Marvels of nature，wonders untold，
Lush forests green and mountains bold.
Rivers rushing with strength and might，
A symphony of colours，a breathtaking sight.
Sunset′s golden hues paint the sky，
Stars shining bright as the moon glides by.

In every leaf，in every sound.
From sparkling lakes to oceans deep，

Explore，dear student，with open eyes，
And let these wonders fill you with surprise.
