William Henry Davies - Seeking Beauty

Cold winds can never freeze, nor thunder sour <br />The cup of cheer that Beauty draws for me <br />Out of those Azure heavens and this green earth -- <br />I drink and drink, and thirst the more I see. <br /> <br />To see the dewdrops thrill the blades of grass, <br />Makes my whole body shake; for here's my choice <br />Of either sun or shade, and both are green -- <br />A Chaffinch laughs in his melodious voice. <br /> <br />The banks are stormed by Speedwell, that blue flower <br />So like a little heaven with one star out; <br />I see an amber lake of buttercups, <br />And Hawthorn foams the hedges round about. <br /> <br />The old Oak tree looks now so green and young, <br />That even swallows perch awhile and sing: <br />This is that time of year, so sweet and warm, <br />When bats wait not for stars ere they take wing. <br /> <br />As long as I love Beauty I am young, <br />Am young or old as I love more or less; <br />When Beauty is not heeded or seems stale, <br />My life's a cheat, let Death end my distress.<br /><br />William Henry Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seeking-beauty/
