First Line: Of beauty there will be always
Last Line: Condemn the madonna?
Subject(s): Beauty; Fruit; Mary And Martha (bible); Sun; Women In The Bible


Of beauty there will be always,
Flesh and of tree;
Of fruit there will be always,
Flesh and of tree --
Until Apollo hides his face
And earth becomes a desert place.

Canst see it in the laden bough --
Canst see it in the waving fields --
Canst see it in the Maiden -- now?
Because a son, for God, she yields?

Fie! Thou wert a barbarian!

For pollen blown by winds
In summer roundelay,
Frail Lotus-flower flesh,
Condemn thee? --
Condemn the Madonna?
