Vachel Lindsay - Beyond The Moon
Work rating: Low

[Written to the Most Beautiful Woman in the World]


M< Sweetheart is the TRUTH BEYOND THE MOON, 
And never have I been in love with Woman, 
Always aspiring to be set in tune 
With one who is invisible, inhuman. 

O laughing girl, cold TRUTH has stepped between, 
Spoiling the fevers of your virgin face: 
Making your shining eyes but lead and clay, 
Mocking your brilliant brain and lady`s grace. 

TRUTH haunted me the day I wooed and lost, 
The day I wooed and won, or wooed in play: 
Tho` you were Juliet or Rosalind, 
Thus shall it be, forever and a day. 

I doubt my vows, tho` sworn on my own blood, 
Tho` I draw toward you weeping, soul to soul, 
I have a lonely goal beyond the moon; 
Ay, beyond Heaven and Hell, I have a goal!
