The Homekeeper's Commonplace: An Old World Creed

AN OLD WORLD CREED

I believe in all things beautiful,

The beauty of simple things.

I believe in music,

Where melody is quickly found;

And in poems, that sound like song.

I believe in books

That hold lovely thoughts.

In pictures, that rest the eye 

and soothe the senses.

In plays that keep the heart young.

Little things delight me,

A sunbeam on a blade of grass,

A dewdrop in the heart of a flower,

A daisy with a rosy frill.

I believe in joy,

and quick laughter;

In sentiments, in love,

in reverance.

I believe in all things beautiful.

I believe in God.

- MINNIE AUMONIER
