BREATH UPON A GLASS, by MARY HOPE CABANISS First Line: Men and women though they pass Last Line: Must be kept for beauty's sake. | |||
Men and women though they pass Like a breath upon a glass Make a rhythm as they go Out of laughter and of woe Beauty that they cannot see Born of death and poverty Hid in grime or flashing bright Told in shadow and in light And the beauty that they make Must be kept for beauty's sake. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIRELIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD A MINOR POET by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CONTRA MORTEM: THE WATER by HAYDEN CARRUTH ON THE THREE PHILOSOPHICAL POETS by GEORGE SANTAYANA NURSING HOME: THE DOLL by KAREN SWENSON TO BE CLOSELY WRITTEN ON A SMALL PIECE OF PAPER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER RECOLLECTIONS OF LOVE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE |
