Life Has Loveliness to Sell

Author: Sara Teasdale Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #56 (1936) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children's faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup. 2 Life has loveliness to sell, Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit's still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. 3 Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strive well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been or could be.
