The Best Thing In The World

Title:     The Best Thing In The World
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning [More Titles by Browning]

What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Light, that never makes you wink;
Memory, that gives no pain;
Love, when, _so_, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
--Something out of it, I think.

[The end]
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem: Best Thing In The World
