There’s Beauty All Around Us
All around us there is beautyOn the leaves of Nature’s book,And while in the path of dutyOught we not at them to look?
Oh, why should we within a fieldOf fresh blooming roses rareSee but the thorns that’re half-concealedUnderneath the blossoms fair?
While daily through the world we moveWith duty’s path around us,Let’s train our eyes to see and loveThe beauties that surround us.
— Effie Waller Smith (1879–1960)
