The Best Thing in the World

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

  


What's the best thing in the world?

  June-rose, by May-dew impearled;

  Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;

  Truth, not cruel to a friend;

  Pleasure, not in haste to end;

  Beauty, not self-decked and curled

  Till its pride is over-plain;

  Love, when, so, you're loved again.

  What's the best thing in the world?

  --Something out of it, I think.
