Life’s Common Things

The things of every day are all so sweet— The morning meadows wet with dew; The dance of daisies in the noon, the blue Of far-off hills where twilight shadows lie, The night with all its tender mystery of sound And silence and God’s starry sky! The things of every day are all so sweet!
The common things of life are all so dear— The waking, in the warm half-gloom, To find again the old familiar room, The scents and sights and sounds that never tire, The homely work, the plans, the lilt of baby’s laugh, The crackle of the open fire; The waiting, then the footsteps coming near, The opening door, the handclasp and the kiss, The common things of life are all so dear. —Selected.
