BEAUTY by ISAAC ROSENBERG

Poet Analysis

First Line: AS A SWORD IN THE SUN
Last Line: AH, BUT ITS STAY IS ITS FLIGHT!
Subject(s): BEAUTY;
As a sword in the sun --
A glory calling a glory --
Our eyes, seeing it run,
Capture its gleam for our story.

Singer, marvellous gleam
Dancing in splendid light,
Here you have brought us our dream --
Ah, but its stay is its flight!
