AD ASTRA: 16 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: NATURE IS LIKE A WOMAN GREATLY LOVED
Last Line: NO ANSWERING LOVE-LIGHT TO OUR OWN REPLIES!
Subject(s): BEAUTY; LOVE - NATURE OF; WOMEN;

Nature is like a woman greatly loved,
Robed in the glint and glamour of Romance;
So long as all her charms are yet unproved,
She holds the soul enwrapt in starry trance—
Her beauty deals the death-wound at a glance!
Dare we but gaze deep in those splendent eyes,
No answering love-light to our own replies!
