In This Beautiful World

Helen Farries

There are flowery pathways

And shady lanes,

There are sparkly sunbeams

And showery rains,

There are lovely valleys

And bubbly brooks,

There are lofty mountains

And sheltered nooks,

There are grassy meadows

And starry skies

There are happy bluebirds

And butterflies,

There are cheery rainbows

And leafy trees –

IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD,

Thank God for these!
