Summum Bonum

________________________________________________
Title:     Summum Bonum
Author: Robert Browning [More Titles by Browning]

All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee:
All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem:
In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea:
Breath and bloom, shade and shine,--wonder, wealth, and--how far above them--
Truth, that's brighter than gem,
Trust, that's purer than pearl,--
Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe,--all were for me
In the kiss of one girl.

[The end]
Robert Browning's poem: Summum Bonum
