BEAUTY
by: George Reston Malloch
(1875-1953)
- EAUTY unattempted,
- She was my lover:
- To me, too blessed,
- Her white limbs did uncover.
-
- Eyes had fill of rapture,
- Lips had lips to kiss;
- Sought I to capture
- The deepest, deepest bliss.
-
- Then the fiery pang
- Smote through heart and core:
- Then the love song rang
- False, and rose no more.
