BEAUTIFUL GROUND
All the ground is beautiful
Like the flower of pink
With the perfume suave such
Is its beauty which rests
On the face of the universe
That we contemplate
All our life through
Dances and songs
Chance that it is with us
Days and nights and unceasingly
Sprinkles us these marvellous things
Which make of it pinkest
His, but this beauty
Will fade with all these cruelties
Human which will do nothing but harm
With this wonder and to destroy it
