Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.

When Death to either shall come - I pray it be first to me.

But I can tell - let truth be told - That love will change in growing old; Though day by day is nought to see, So delicate his motions be.

So sweet love seemed that April morn, when first we kissed beside the thorn, so strangely sweet, it was not strange we thought that love could never change.

Scatter the clouds that hide The face of heaven, and show Where sweet peace doth abide, Where Truth and Beauty grow.

My delight and thy delight Walking, like two angels white, In the gardens of the night.
