I Have Found Such Joy By Grace Noll Crowell
I have found such joy in simple things; A plain, clean room, a nut-brown loaf of bread, A cup of milk, a kettle as it sings, The shelter of a roof above my head, And in a leaf-laced square along the floor, Where yellow sunlight glimmers through a door.
I have found such joy in things that fill My quiet days: a curtain's blowing grace, A potted plant upon my window sill, A rose, fresh-cut and placed within a vase; A table cleared, a lamp beside a chair, And books I long have loved beside me there.
Oh, I have found such joys I wish I might Tell every woman who goes seeking far For some elusive, feverish delight, That very close to home the great joys are: The elemental things--old as the race, Yet never, through the ages, commonplace.
