关于地球的诗（英语）

1 Earth Day

I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.

And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.

That's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.

2 Our Special Earth

Our Earth is very special,

As special as can be,

Though it's not the closest planet

To the Sun--that's Mercury.

It's not the hottest planet,

That's Venus--"Evening Star,"

It's not the biggest planet,
