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...THE CONQUEROR'S GRAVE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT SEA GODS: 3 by HILDA DOOLITTLE HASSAN'S MUSIC by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH TWELVE SONNETS: 5.
