Sara Teasdale wrote "Barter." 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. 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 spirits's still delight, Holy thoughts
that star the night. 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 strife well lost, And for a
breath of ecstasy Give all you have been, or
could be."
