by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844 - 1930)
I love all beauteous things
Language: English
I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honoured for them. I too will something make And joy in the making! Altho' tomorrow it seem' Like the empty words of a dream Remembered, on waking.
