At Beauty's Beck

“Heard Melodies Are Sweet,

But Those Unheard Are Sweeter.”

 

-John Keats

Beauty is a lonely life �" a broken way to be!

And I have paid an awful price

For seeing what I see

 

Within the rare

And commonplace,

 

In wonder, so divine!

What is God’s, or only mine:

 

 ---

The light doth fall in every age; the light doth fall on Man

But only those who seek a light will catch what light they can!

Such is a life at beauty’s beck; such is the life I lead �"

Though I have known my share of light,

It’s beauty that I need:
