Pre-reading:

What is beauty? Try to describe what beauty is, or list some of the
things you think are beautiful.

now read the poem.

Beauty is seen
In the sunlight,

The trees, the birds,

Corn growing and people working
Or dancing for their harvest.

Beauty is heard
In the night,

Wind sighing, rain falling,

Or a singer chanting

Anything in earnest.
