The Worship Of Nature

The poem i chose was "The Worship of Nature" by John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-192). This poem is about how mankind are the people who appreciate nature. Nature here is known as Mother Earth. She rewards us by giving us trees that help us sustain life. After time passed by we started destroying this planet and Mother Earth didn't like that.
