THE STAR OF BEAUTY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: It dwells not in the skies
Last Line: My star of beauty!
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Beauty; Hate; Hell; Love; Stars


It dwells not in the skies,
My Star of Beauty!
'Twas made of her sighs,
Her tears and agonies,
The fire in her eyes,
My Star of Beauty!

Lovely and delicate,
My Star of Beauty!
How could she master Fate,
Although she gave back hate
Great as my love was great,
My Star of Beauty!

I loved, she hated, well:
My Star of Beauty!
Soon, soon the passing bell:
She rose, and I fell:
Soft shines in deeps of hell
My Star of Beauty!
