*BEAUTIFUL THINGS* Beautiful faces are those dat WEAR* it matters little if dark or FAIR* Whole-souled honesty printed THERE* Beautiful eyes are those dat SHOW* Like crystal panes where heartfires GLOW* Beautiful thoughts dat burn BELOW* Beautiful lips are those whose WORDS* Leap from da heart like songs of BIRDS* Yet whose utterance prudence GIRDS* Beautifil hands are those dat DO* Work dat is honest & brave & TRUE* Moment by moment da long day THROUGH* Beautiful feet are those dat GO* On kindly ministries to & FRO* Down lowliest ways, if God wills it SO* Beautiful shoulders are those dat BEAR* Ceaseless burdens of homely CARE* With patient grace & daily PRAYER* Beautiful lives are those dat BLESS* Silent rivers of HAPPINESS* Whose hidden fountains but few GUESS* Beautiful twilight @ set of SUN* Beautiful goal with race well WON* Beautiful rest with work well DONE* Beautiful graves where grasses CREEP* Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie DEEP* Over worn-out hands--oh! beautiful SLEEP!*
