Oh, good gigantic smile o’ the brown old earth,
This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true;
Such is life’s trial, as old earth smiles and knows.
If you loved only what were worth your love,
Love
Make
Give earth yourself, go up for gain above!
Robert Browning
