WHY are the blossoms

Such different hues?

And the waves of the sea

Such a number of blues?

So many soft greens

Flit over the trees?

And little gray shadows

Fly out on the breeze?

Why are the insects

So wondrously fair;

Illumining grasses

And painting the air?

You dear little shells,

O, why do you shine?

And feathery sea-weed

Grow fragile and fine?

Why are the meadows

Such gardens of grace,

With infinite beauty

In definite space?

Each separate grass

A world of delight?

O, food for the cattle,

Why are you so bright?

Why are our faces

Such lovable things,

With lips made for kisses,

And laughter that sings?

With eyes full of love,

That sparkle and gleam,

Through beautiful colors,

That change like a dream?

Think for a moment —

Look up to the sky;

Question your heart; it

Will answer the Why!

Bright is the glitter

Of beauty unfurled —

Boundless the love that

Has fashioned the world!
