Beautiful Things And A Poem On Worth And Sleep
Beautiful faces are there that wear honesty printed there. Beautiful eyes are those that show like crystal panes where heart fires glow. Beautiful thoughts burn below. Beautiful lips speak from the heart like birds. Beautiful hands do earnest work. Moment by moment the long day through. Beautiful feet go kindly to and fro. Beautiful shoulders bear burdens with patient grace. Beautiful lives bless silent rivers of happiness. Hidden fountains few may guess. Beautiful twilight at sunset. Beautiful goal with race well won. Beautiful rest with work well done. Beautiful graves where grasses creep over worn-out hands in sleep.
