I like the simple things of earth:
A daisy on the lawn,
A violet by the garden gate,
A breath of air at dawn.
I like the lovely things on earth
A rainbow in the skies,
A row of purple irises,
A pair of shining eyes.
I like the solid things of earth:
A firm and rugged tree,
A mammoth boulder on the hill,
.A mighty ship at sea
- I like the lasting things of earth:
- A faith that conquers strife,
A love that brothers mankind,
A strong and worthy life.
