Day 528: Life's Loveliness


It's during the Christmas season that we see the loveliness of life, when 'holy thoughts star the night' and when  one 'white singing hour of peace' can ameliorate a year of strife.


Barter - Sara Teasdale

Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

  1. Many people fear the car buying experience, yet it is one most of us must endure. It can be hard to know much with so many different options for cars. Because of this, its even more difficult to know what a good deal is.mens-health-france.com |
