BEAUTY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beauty, that burns enshrined in the depths of my heart
Last Line: No longer sees the bar 'twixt life and death!
Subject(s): Beauty


Beauty, that burns enshrined in the depths of my heart,
Gleaming sword, from my side may you never part
Or, if you must become a bitter thing,
Beauty, still to mine inmost spirit cling.
Burn and consume me, O my only sun,
That your strong spear, your strong vermilion spear
With daily purer flames more deeply sear
My soul until new being it has won,
And my very reason, maddened with your breath,
No longer sees the bar 'twixt life and death!
