Notes About The Poem

" BEAUTY " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of rose and prairie gentian

Inward and Outward Beauty

If a man is blessed with outward beauty but lacks the beauty of the soul 
Never he, true happiness would find!

However,

If a man lacks outward beauty but is blessed with the fairness of the soul
Never unhappiness, would know!
