LITTLE THINGS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: It is the little things
Last Line: It is the little things!
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


IT is the little things
Bring happiness; -- the winnow of soft wings
Beneath the bright undrooping of the dawn;
A kiss, a smile; sunlight upon the lawn;
A tender word
Breathed in the twilight hush; a rose-leaf stirred
To deeper crimson when the noon is bland;
A hand-wave, or the touching of a hand;
A glint of moonlight: notes from plaintive strings; --
It is the little things!
