Silence Breaks with Poetry

I haven't posted all summer, and we'll see whether with 4 APs and 1 Honors I'm allowed to post again. You can find frequent updates at www.innovativeteen.blogspot.com. Here is some Elizabeth Barrett Browning for your consideration.

The Best Thing in the World

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.
