WHO WALKS with Beauty has no need of fear; The sun and moon and stars keep pace with him; Invisible hands restore the ruined year, And time itself grows beautifully dim. One hill will keep the footprints of the moon That came and went a hushed and secret hour; One star at dusk will yield the lasting boon; Remembered beauty's white immortal flower. Who takes of Beauty wine and daily bread Will know no lack when bitter years are lean; The brimming cup is by, the feast is spread; The sun and moon and stars his eyes have seen Are for his hunger and the thirst he slakes: The wine of Beauty and the bread he breaks. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRAYERS by HENRY CHARLES BEECHING A MOOD by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH CYNTHIA RETURNED FROM THE COUNTRY by PHILIP AYRES HOW TO CATCH A BLACK-FISH by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD SAVAGES by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN THE WANDERER: 5.
