Descry

More beautiful than the harp or desert rose                                                                                                                                            for bearing sharp thorns it is meant to burn                                                                                                                                       for it only pales and songs wither true growth loves                                                                                                                           Discerns not spurns better to die in the hand of a lover                                                                                                                                        than to lament of dying alone quenched undiscovered
