Serene and beautiful and very wise,
Most erudite in curious Grecian lore,
You lay and read your learned books, and bore
A weight of unshed tears and silent sighs,
The song of within you heart could never rise
Until love bade it spread it's wings and soar.
Nor could you look on Beauty's face before
a poet's burning mouth had touched your eyes....
Alfred Joyce Kilmer(1886-1918)
