The Beautiful
written by William Henry Davies
From "The Hour of Magic", 1922 Link to further information




Three things there are more beautiful
   Than any man could wish to see:
The first, it is a full-rigged ship
   Sailing with all her sails set free;
The second, when the wind and sun
   Are playing in a field of corn;
The third, a woman, young and fair,
   Showing her child before it is born.
