Venus

More beauteous than Helen of Troy! More beauteous than all beauty queens! More beauteous than the foggy eves: More beauteous than the starry beams; Was it thou angels Who beguiled? With thy unearthly beauty sheen! In far off, far off, far off well From centuries hanging they unseen Which name of Lord thou learned from Them? By which magic them thee enthralled! I read pages of Holy Book Oh Beauty Queen I'm appalled! While in the eve in yard I roam And look at heavens as I stand I gaze at starry world on high I blink on earthly lamps on hand I put in wonder hands on lips! As Alice in some wonderland Thou tease me out of mind oh Queen! Thou shining glittering in the sky All starry fays who serve thee there And sing for thee a lullaby Oh thou the shine of evening sky Oh thou the morning starry beam Oh radiant than the goddess moon More radiant than all fairies seem Thousands of years on lofty skies Far off, far off from madding crowd Oh come on earth come on for once Oh come in misty cloudy shroud Oh luckiest than those drowned on Earth Oh luckiest than all killed in wars More luckiest than those smiling eyes In world no one can know whose scars! Wash fairies thy face with moon dust And dry it with the heavens breeze From tangled boughs of sky and earth For thy bath water they squeeze Which duty God to thee assigned? Thou sitting midst of starry fays! Thou serve the One the Gracious Lord? Who rules on world all night and day? In Day thou worship Lord of world Thou lit at night the angels way Oh harken me oh Beauteous lass! A message I've sent to you Oh read the verse of Holy Book My Holy Book, it's chapter two Read scented scented every verse More keenly read one hundred two Oh bid the orders of Thy Lord Without Him everyone in loss
