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