Beauty.

Beauty is the child of Love
What he looks upon is fair,
Though 1t be an empty glove
Or a lock of faded hair.
Where he lights. the sunshine plays;
Round about him flowers bloom;
Spring, for him, lengthens her days,
Scattering all her rich perfume.
Work, If sweetened by his smile,
Is as light as heart of boy
When he, rowing mile on mile,
Takes the world but for his toy.
Love may do whate'er he will,
Play his tricks or sullen grow.
Beauty is his shadow still,
Following him where he doth go.
Let the tickle god depart
All that's fair in darkness dies,
For of all he is a part.
And alone all beauties.
-Rt. Rev. John Lancaster Spa1dinl
(Bishop Of Peoria), in August Smar
