First Line: Where is beauty?
Last Line: Secret as dream.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Where is beauty?
Gone, gone:
The cold winds have taken it
With their faint moan;
The white stars have shaken it,
Trembling down,
Into the pathless deeps of the sea:
Gone, gone
Is beauty from me.
The clear naked flower
Is faded and dead;
The green-leafed willow,
Drooping her head,
Whispers low to the shade
Of her boughs in the stream,
Sighing a beauty
Secret as dream.
