Oh, dear Beauty - thou art the life that lifts
A soul above the edge of doom; when hope
Is lost, and naught is left but sorrow's gifts;
When one will face the dark and silent cope
With the murmuring shade of aching flow —
Yet, there is no fear of such a doomed fate
When thine eyes cast forth their warming glow
And melt the icy floes that drift in wait -
When thine image wafts into the dreams
Bedewing the parched desert of the heart —
And there within a hope of love then gleams
And waits, thine lips to form the cryptic dart:
Beauty, thou art the life that giveth breath,
Yet thine lips may but equal deal out death.

Very nice. I like the old style writing you used.
