I love all beauteous things

I love all beauteous things, 
I seek and adore them; 
God hath no better praise, 
And man in his hasty days 
Is honoured for them.

I too will something make
And joy in the making! 
Altho' tomorrow it seem' 
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered, on waking.

by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930) , no title, from Poems, published 1890
