Her Beauty Within My Eyes

Beauty lies
About what beauty knows
Because when beauty left
She kept that beauty close 
And what this beauty kept 
Never with beauty goes
So that when beauty dies
Its not her beauty fall

I thought when beauty cries
Its not a beauty show
And when beauty wept
I'd dread that beauty flow
Until my beauty slept
And back came beauty fore
As if that beauty sept 
Awoke her beauty more

Who not can beauty tempt?
What not can beauty haul?
With Helen's beauty etched
Beneath the beauty floor.
