ANDREA, ONCE MORE, by                    
First Line: Some say: great heart meets heart in raphael
Last Line: Blood from a heart refined in infinite pains.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


SOME say: great heart meets heart in Raphael
While only soulless eyes find nothing there
Conceived sublime enough to make him heir
In adoration to great Gabriel;
And that for all Andrea's perfect swell
Of modulated line and colour-flare
His hand worked only, his heart was unaware
Those things eternal which the seraphs tell.

But yet there never lacked to perfect heart
A cunning hand to make its glory known,
Nor yet no perfect hand has ever shown
An ultimate perfection in high art
But there has beat within its subtle veins
Blood from a heart refined in infinite pains.
