Arthur Symons - Time And BeautyArthur Symons - Time And Beauty
Work rating: Low


Your hair, that burning gold Naked might not behold, Shall tarnish, and your skin Wrinkle its satin in. And your lips, like a rose, Uncolour and unclose; Yet, because you are made Of beauty, not arrayed In beauty`s covering. Hold Time for a vain thing. Time shall bid youth let fall Its colours one and all, And wither in chill air Bright blood and burning hair; When these are overpast. The bones of beauty last.
