BREATH UPON A GLASS, by MARY HOPE CABANISS First Line: Men and women though they pass Last Line: Must be kept for beauty's sake. | |||
Men and women though they pass Like a breath upon a glass Make a rhythm as they go Out of laughter and of woe Beauty that they cannot see Born of death and poverty Hid in grime or flashing bright Told in shadow and in light And the beauty that they make Must be kept for beauty's sake. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SYMPATHY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON INGRATEFUL [OR UNGRATEFUL] BEAUTY THREATENED by THOMAS CAREW FLOWER-GATHERING by ROBERT FROST TWO FUSILIERS by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES THE OLD MAID by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) FALSORUM DEORUM CULTOR by WILLIAM ROSE BENET MONHEGAN GULLS by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
