Poem :- "I Love All Beauteous Things"
I love all beauteous things,
I seek and adore them;
God hath no better praise,
And man in his hasty days
Is honoured for them.
I too will something make
And joy in the making!
Altho' tomorrow it seem'
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered, on waking.
- Robert Seymour Bridges
Explanation : Poet writes that he admires Nature which god has created but, never been praised for it completely. People instead of praising god for his creation honours men who are just in haste. And, he himself will also create something in this world one day but, he feels like that he will not be praised for that too as if it is a dream whose selected words could be remembered and not the whole dream.
