Who is All Beauty He who seeks shall findB
And all along the paths my feet have trodA
I have sought hungrily with heart and mindB
And open eyes for beauty everywhereC
Lo I have found the world is very fairC
The search for beauty is the search for GodA

Beauty was first revealed to me by starsD
Before I saw it in my mother's eyesE
Or seeing sensed it beauty I was stirredF
To awe and wonder by those orbs of lightG
All palpitant against empurpled skiesE
They spoke a language to my childish heartH
Of mystery and splendour and of spaceI
Friendly with gracious unseen presencesJ
Beauty was first revealed to me by starsD

Sunsets enlarged the meaning of the wordF
There was a window looking to the westK
Beyond it wide Wisconsin fields of grainL
And then a hill whereon white flocks of cloudsM
Would gather in the afternoon to restK
And when the sun went down behind that hillN
What scenes of glory spread before my sightG
What beauty beauty absolute supremeO
Sunsets enlarged the meaning of that wordF

Clover in blossom red and honey sweetP
In summer billowed like a crimson seaQ
Across the meadow lands One day I stoodR
Breast high amidst its waves and heard the humS
Of myriad bees that had gone mad like meQ
With fragrance and with beauty Over usT
A loving sun smiled from a cloudless skyU
While a bold breeze kissed lightly as it passedV
Clover in blossom red and honey sweetP

Autumn spoke loudly of the beautifulW
And in the gallery of Nature hungX
Colossal pictures hard against the skyU
Set forests gorgeous with a hundred huesY
And with each morning some new wonder flungX
Before the startled world some daring shadeZ
Some strange new scheme of colour and of formA2
Autumn spoke loudly of the beautifulW

Winter though rude is delicate in artH
More delicate than Summer or than fallB2
Even as rugged man is more refinedB
In vital things than woman Winter's touchC2
On Nature seemed most beautiful of allB2
That evanescent beauty of the frostD2
On window panes of clean fresh fallen snowE2
Of white white sunlight on the ice draped treesF2
Winter though rude is delicate in artH
-
Morning The word itself is beautifulW
And the young hours have many gifts to giveG2
That feed the soul with beauty He who keepsH2
His days for labour and his nights for sleepI2
Wakes conscious of the joy it is to liveJ2
And brings from that mysterious Land of DreamsK2
A sense of beauty that illumines earthL2
Morning The word itself is beautifulW
-
The search for beauty is the search for GodA
