A lyric poet, Sara Teasdale wrote seven books of poetry in her lifetime, and is regarded today as one of literature’s finest lyric poets. Her poems often reflect moments in her life, from her humble beginnings to her career as a writer. This famous passage "All That Glitters" is from a letter given by the wizard Gandalf to the Hobbit Frodo. The poem has gone on to a life past the books and films, and into a perfect place in your home. Ideal for any study, office or living room.

"Life has loveliness to sell,

All beautiful and splendid things,

Blue waves whitened on a cliff,

Soaring fire that sways and sings,

And children's faces looking up

Holding wonder like a cup

Life has loveliness to sell,

Music like a curve of gold,

Scent of pine trees in the rain,

Eyes that love you, arms that hold,

And for your spirit's still delight,

Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,

Buy it and never count the cost;

For one white singing hour of peace

Count many a year of strife well lost,

And for a breath of ecstasy

Give all you have been, or could be."

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king."
