BEAUTY, by                    
First Line: O beauty that I can not spell!
Last Line: Until fit measure I repay.
Subject(s): Beauty


O beauty that I can not spell!
O glory that I can not tell!
My little self against the great,
My poor words all inadequate,
Yet to thy galleries I come,
O Art a wanderer and dumb
Thy hallways will I never leave.
Let in my soul the ocean heave,
The ocean of my love to you,
And die a clinging lover true,
And wait for an eternity
To set my prisoned accents free,
Then sing eternities away,
Until fit measure I repay.
