The MendicantShe has so much to share Of life and love and beauty, And all things fine and fair. When music sounds her bugles The people crowd the way As if there's nothing else to do But just to sing and play. But art can well be patient, She waits your quiet dole And gives you back the wonder Of a transfigured soul. __Florence L. Snow |
