First Line: She died in beauty, like a rose
Last Line: Amid the blue of june.
Subject(s): Death; Dead, The
She died in beauty, -- like a rose
Blown from its parent stem;
She died in beauty, -- like a pearl
Dropped from some diadem.
She died in beauty, -- like a lay
Along a moonlit lake;
She died in beauty, -- like the song
Of birds amid the brake.
She died in beauty, -- like the snow
On flowers dissolved away;
She died in beauty, -- like a star
Lost on the brow of day.
She lives in glory, -- like the night's gems
Set round the silver moon;
She lives in glory, -- like the sun
Amid the blue of June.
