Excerpt from The Beautiful In thine hour of gladness go and listen To the merriest songs, in Copse and grove, In that of sadness, where sunbeams glisten, With the clear, blue Sky beaming bright above. Go in thy gladness, go in thy sadness, And each pulse of joy is gently heightened, While the heart's deep sadness thus is lightened, Through Nature's earnest, loving lessons. The love of the beautiful is the purest love the heart may know. In its essence, it becomes the love of the Creator Himself, the source Of all beauty. This love instructed, leadeth unto Him.
