First Line: I have touched hands with peace and loveliness
Last Line: The lovely beauty of an evening star.
Subject(s): Beauty


I have touched hands with peace and loveliness,
When the first breath of May crept through the trees;
Watched lovely flowers tremble in the breeze --
I cannot say I have been comfortless.
Often the nights have whispered words to me;
With wonder I have watched a new day break,
Shaking its veils across a windy lake --
The wind that stirred them, brought me ecstasy.

My heart can know no pain while beauty weaves
Quaint patterns in the corridors of thought,
Patterns of curving cloud and waving leaves;
All the indifference that time has wrought
Will softly pass, when I behold afar --
The lovely beauty of an evening star.
