BEAUTY
by: John Masefield
- HAVE seen
dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
- Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
- I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
- Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.
-
- I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of
the sea,
- And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails
of ships;
- But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to
me
- Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve
of her lips.
