Beauty is seen
In the sunlight,
The trees, the birds,
Corn growing and people working
Or dancing for their harvest.
Beauty is heard
In the night,
Wind sighing, rain falling,
Or a singer chanting
Anything in earnest.
Beauty is in yourself.
Good deeds, happy thoughts
That repeat themselves
In your dreams,
In your work,
And even in your rest.
Summary
The poet through this poem expresses his feeling about ‘beauty’. In the eyes of the poet, beauty lies in the sunlight, the trees, the chirping of the birds, corn fields and the farmers working in their fields. He has described nature.
Beauty can also be heard in the whistling sound of the wind at night, in the pitter-patter of rain drops, in the melody of a singer.
The poet further says that if you look within yourself, you will feel beauty in the good deeds that you do and your happy thoughts. They repeat themselves in your dreams, in work and even while you rest.
