6These Lovely ThingsJose La. Villa TierraThese things are lovely, and God made them so;These little white sampaguitas wet with dew;The graceful sway of grass, folk dancing on the lea;The green of narra leaves; the blue of sky and sea;The lacy waterfalls and rainbows in the sun;The Master's canvas in the west when day is done;The humble nipa hut beneath the swaying palmsListening to the breezes lilting pagan psalms;The moonbeams on the bay; each little bird that sings;Dalagas on the lane; the color summer brings...These things are lovely, and God made them so,And placed them in my country - row on row.I'm glad I'm too poor to leave my shoreAnd miss this loveliness outside my cottage door.Source: Philippine Prose and Poetry, Vol. two (Revised Edition).Department of Education, Bureau of Public Schools, Manila, 1964.
