THESE THINGS I LOVE No gems nor gold that man has wrought, For those with wealth to buy, Can hold me breathless like a tree, Etched stark against the sky. The morning glories, azure blue, Outside the kitchen door, The sunbeams in an impish troop That dance across the floor, The gnarled ol dapple tree in spring, A mist of pink and whiteg The tender call of a mocking bird, A crocus born last night, The lightning in a jagged streak, Across a sullen sky, Each flower left with diamond drops By rain clouds passing by- Wllile lovely things like these are mine, I'll fear no change or sorrow, I'll be serene, and quiet, and glad, Today, and each tomorrow. ' JUNE CARTER
