"Progress"

Rolling ridges  
Rushing falls
Deadfall bridges
Wooded halls

 
Water on rock
Thunder of May
Wary birds mock
Hunters seek prey

Moss of old
Ancient empire
Blossoms unfold
Virtue in mire

Man approaches
Spark to tender
Smoke encroaches
Flaming splendor

Laid to waste
Concrete disgrace

Breath of wind
Time may mend
