Barter tries to convince the reader that there is beauty in life. All of the similes and metaphors used in the poem illustrate this. "Music like a curve of gold," "Blue waves whitened on a cliff," "Holding wonder like a cup," "one white singing hour of peace" all serve as examples for the beauty that can be found in simple moments and sensations. 
The poem is written in rhymed iambic tetrameter. This helps the poem sound more musical. 
Hope this helps.
