| The World Approves written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Secrets", 1924 |
The shade and colour of her eyes can wait,
It is the light of love that matters there;
But the spider's threads that catch the morning's pearls,
All for the Sun, could make no finer hair.
Our milk-fed kitten has no warmer skin,
My neighbour's pigeon has no softer voice;
Our black-mouthed puppy has no whiter teeth -
And the world approves of Dinah and my choice.
