The Pure, the Bright, the Beautiful

Lyrics
The pure, the bright, the beautiful That stirred our hearts in youth; The longings after something lost; The impulse to a wordless pray’r The dreams of love and truth; Revivings of our better hopes; The spirits yearning to cry; These things can never die The pure, the bright, the beautiful These things can never die The pure, the bright, the beautiful Thеse things can never diе The timid hand stretch forth to aid A brother in his need The kindly word in grief's dark hour That proves a friend indeed The plea for mercy, softly breathed When justice threatens high The sorrow of a contrite heart These things can never die The pure, the bright, the beautiful These things can never die The pure, the bright, the beautiful These things can never die The cruel and bitter word That bounded as it fell; The chilling want of sympathy We feel, but never tell The hard repulse that chills the heart Whose hopes were bounding high In an unfading record kept These things can never die
