Life has so much loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
Children faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup...
Life has so much loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Eyes that love you, Arms that hold,
For your spirit 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 years of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ectasy,
Spend all you have been or could be...
