<p>I'm looking for any well-known poem that talks about the beauty or wonder of nature, the world or the universe.</p>

<p>The beginning of《醉翁亭记》isn't a bad place to start.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>环滁皆山也。其西南诸峰，林壑尤美，望之蔚然而深秀者，琅琊也。山行六七里，渐闻水声潺潺而泻出于两峰之间者，酿泉也。峰回路转，有亭翼然临于泉上者，醉翁亭也。作亭者谁？</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I just fear that the whole 醉翁 part will detract from the allure of the natural world.</p>

<p>Any suggestions would be helpful, certainly as I don't have much of a grasp of what or wouldn't be "well-known."</p>

this is a prose rather than a poem. conventionally, an author will express his thoughts behind the beautiful nature they describe.

I'm looking for any well-known poem that talks about the beauty or wonder of nature, the world or the universe.

The beginning of《醉翁亭记》isn't a bad place to start.

> 环滁皆山也。其西南诸峰，林壑尤美，望之蔚然而深秀者，琅琊也。山行六七里，渐闻水声潺潺而泻出于两峰之间者，酿泉也。峰回路转，有亭翼然临于泉上者，醉翁亭也。作亭者谁？

I just fear that the whole 醉翁 part will detract from the allure of the natural world.

Any suggestions would be helpful, certainly as I don't have much of a grasp of what or wouldn't be "well-known."
