Glorious gold of winter sunset
Shining through snow covered boughs,
Path of gold on ice strewn waters
Dashing 'gainst great steamers' prows,

Magic rug across the landscape,
Glittering with a million tints,
Wrapping homesteads of the humblest
With a Persian's richest prints.

Wealth of nature, all unfolding
Down the barren, wintry hill,
Spreads for all a costly carpet,
Bright with tint of daffodil.

We, the poorest of earth's creatures,
Wrapped in bright and shining gold,
Wealth of princes spread before us,
Need we e'er fear winter's cold?

Gracious God! To give us beauty
Covering even homely things.
Need we dread what time may bring us,
If we have a heart that sings?

If we have a heart for beauty,
Appreciation of earth's store,
Ugliness can never touch us,
Tediousness can never bore.
