BEAUTY
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

n n ETHINKS there is no greater work in life
IVI Than making beauty. Can the mind conceive
One little corner in celestial realms
Unbeautiful dull commonplace?
Or picture ugly angels, lily clad?
Beauty and splendor opulence and joy
Are attributes of God and his domain
And 30 are worth and virtue. But why preach
OF virtue only to the of men,
ignoring beauty till they think it sin?
Why if each dweller this little globe
Could know the sacred meaning of that word
And understand its deep significance
Mems thoughts would form in beauty till their dreams
However humble; they themselves would grow
Godlike, BETTING such a fair estate.
Let us be done with what is only good:
Demanding here and the beautiful
Lest, with the mind and eye on earth unframed
We shall be i'll at ease when heaven Is gained
