  Life has loveliness to sell,    All beautiful and splendid things,   Blue waves whitened on a cliff,    Soaring fire that sways and sings,   And children's faces looking up   Holding wonder like a cup.   Life has loveliness to sell,    Music like a curve of gold,   Scent of pine trees in the rain,    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,   And for your spirit's still delight,   Holy thoughts that star the night.   Spend all you have for loveliness,    Buy it and never count the cost;   For one white singing hour of peace    Count many a year of strife well lost,   And for a breath of ecstasy   Give all you have been, or could be.…mehr

  Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
   Soaring fire that sways and sings,
  And children's faces looking up
  Holding wonder like a cup.
  Life has loveliness to sell,
   Music like a curve of gold,
  Scent of pine trees in the rain,
   Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
  And for your spirit's still delight,
  Holy thoughts that star the night.
  Spend all you have for loveliness,
   Buy it and never count the cost;
  For one white singing hour of peace
   Count many a year of strife well lost,
  And for a breath of ecstasy
  Give all you have been, or could be.
Autorenporträt
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was an American poet. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Teasdale suffered from poor health as a child before entering school at the age of ten. In 1904, after graduating from Hosmer Hall, Teasdale joined the group of female artists known as The Potters, who published The Potter's Wheel, a monthly literary and visual arts magazine, from 1904 to 1907. With her first two collections-Sonnets to Duse and Other Poems (1907) and Helen of Troy and Other Poems (1911)-Teasdale earned a reputation as a gifted lyric poet from critics and readers alike. In 1916, following the publication of her bestselling Rivers to the Sea (1915), she moved to New York City with her husband Ernst Filsinger. There, she won the 1918 Pulitzer Prize for Love Songs (1917), her fourth collection. Frustrated with Filsinger's prolonged absences while traveling for work, she divorced him in 1929 and moved to another apartment in the Upper West Side. Renewing her friendship with poet Vachel Lindsay, she continued to write and publish poems until her death by suicide in 1933.
