Poem by Robert Seymour Bridges

Shorter Poems. Book IV. 1. “I Love All Beauteous Things”

    I love all beauteous things,
      I seek and adore them;
    God hath no better praise,
    And man in his hasty days
      Is honoured for them.

    I too will something make
      And joy in the making;
    Altho’ to-morrow it seem
    Like the empty words of a dream
      Remembered on waking.
