DIVINITY, by ROBERT A. SIMON

First Line: All loveliness and laughter
Last Line: Of simple singing men.
Subject(s): God
All loveliness and laughter,
She sweeps into our ken
And breaks our hearts, nor ever pities
The simple singing men.
Yet, in a short hereafter,
Time will despoil her -- then
She'll live but in the plaintive ditties
Of simple singing men.
