MY CREED, by ELSIE CONLEY First Line: Beauty is my creed Last Line: Crowned beauty the soul of eternal peace. Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
Beauty is my creed, From sordidness may I be freed; Beauty of soul and beauty of face, Beauty of faith found every place. Beauty in glen and forest tree, Beauty in mountain and meadow and sea, Beauty of deed and active mind Yes, beauty of every kind. Beauty of body, O! form of grace, Down through the ages love of beauty we trace; The wise old sages of Greece Crowned beauty the soul of eternal peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SMALLISH SON by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
