Ballads (Masefield, 1903)/Beauty

Beauty

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