Text: | Life Has Loveliness to Sell |
Author: | Sara Teasdale |
Tune: | HALLETT |
Composer: | J. H. Sheperd |
1 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.
2 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.
3 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 strive well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been or could be.
