Is There Any Truth in Beauty? |
| | | Is there any truth in Beauty? What of the lies beauty tells thee?
Could my beauty not be as worthy As I make thy Beauty part of me?
Such is Beauty as to make one's sight loud. This beauty that veils our sense in a shroud.
beauty: that which deters seeing the person. Does Beauty not conceal what is and isn't?
Yet merciless time holds beauty as a hostage, Defiles Beauty and scars it with lasting ravage.
Thus the years that pass send Beauty to its resting-place For vain beauty will yield, to woefully fall from grace.
If beauty should ever lament on age's cruelty, Let not Beauty forget how little it has wept for me. |
