- Barter
- by Sara Teasdale
- 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 in a cup.
- 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.
- Spend all you have for loveliness,
- Buy it and never count the cost;
- For one singing hour of peace
- Count many a year of strife well lost,
- And for a breath of ecstasy
- Give all you have been, or could be.
