BEYOND by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: SWIFT TO SCATTER ALL THAT CHARMS
Last Line: LOVE THAT MEETS HIM OUT OF REACH.
Subject(s): CHARM; WOMEN;

SWIFT to scatter all that charms
Hear the world her pleasures preach,
Till to silence she alarms
Life with deeper things to teach.

But, for every man and each,
Hours there be beyond her harms,
Poems safe beyond her speech,
Wings that never felt her arms,
Love that meets him out of reach.
