I have said many words I much regret, I have seen much 'twere better not to see, I have heard much that left these same eyes wet. How could one envy me? Your inward vision gives you beauty far Beyond our loveliness, the sound you hear Is that great chorus when star sings to star Beyond our noisy sphere. For you the harmony, the beautiful And unstained grace that we must die to view.
