More than most fair, full of that heavenly fire Kindled above to show the Maker's glory! Beauty's first-born, in whom all powers conspire To write the Graces' life, and Muses' story! -- If in my heart all saints else be defaced, Honour the shrine where you alone are placed. Thou window of the sky, and pride of spirits, True character of honour in perfection! Thou heavenly creature, judge of earthly merits, And glorious prison of man's pure affection! -- If in my heart all nymphs else be defaced, Honour the shrine where you alone are placed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 12 by OMAR KHAYYAM THE ADORATION OF DISK BY KING AKHNATEN AND PRINCESS NEFER NEFERIU ATEN by AKHENATEN EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 6.
