Elizabeth Barrett-Browning (Элизабет Барретт-Браунинг)

The Best Thing in the World

What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Love, when, so, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
--Something out of it, I think. 

1. Adequacy
2. Only a Curl
3. A Thought for a Lonely Death-Bed
4. Cheerfulness Taught by Reason
5. Sonnets from the Portuguese. 22. When our two souls stand up erect and strong
