    Life has loveliness to sell,

    All beautiful and splendid things,

    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,

    Soaring fire, that aways and sings,

    And children’s faces looking up

    Holding wonder in a cup.

    Life has loveliness to sell,

    Music like a curve of gold,

    Scent of pine trees in the rain,

    Eyes that love you and arms that hold,

    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 while singing hour of peace

    Count many a year of strife well lost,

    And for a breath of ecstasy

    Give all year have, or could be.
