BREATH UPON A GLASS, by MARY HOPE CABANISS First Line: Men and women though they pass Last Line: Must be kept for beauty's sake. | |||
Men and women though they pass Like a breath upon a glass Make a rhythm as they go Out of laughter and of woe Beauty that they cannot see Born of death and poverty Hid in grime or flashing bright Told in shadow and in light And the beauty that they make Must be kept for beauty's sake. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET TO TARTAR, A TERRIER BEAUTY by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES ELEONORA; A PANEGYRICAL POEM by JOHN DRYDEN ASTRONOMY by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN NUPTIAL SLEEP by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI ON THE PROJECTED KENDAL AND WINDERMERE RAILWAY by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH |
