First Stanza borrowed from Gilbert & Sullivan's, "The Mikado"


Beauty


"There is beauty in the bellow of a blast
There is grandeur in the howling of a gale
There is eloquence outpouring
When the lion is a roaring
And the tiger is a lashing of his tail"

There is beauty in those words of Mr. Gil
His beauteous words are musically a thrill
So marvelously clever
His words will last forever
They were written with abandon and great skill

There are other types of beauty then just words
Believing only words have beauty is absurd
There is beauty in a snowflake
There is beauty in a keepsake
And there's beauty in the feathers of a bird

Don't overrate what's ugly. It confounds us
Be grateful for the beauty that surrounds us
There isn't any dearth
Of beauty on our earth
Appreciate what's beautiful around us
