| "I Once Beheld Beauty" | |
| I ONCE BEHELD BEAUTY I once beheld beauty in the night; I tried to weld duty to pure light. It came undone in the noonday sun. I had no other choice but to run. I lost my voice and I lost my sight. I once beheld beauty in the night. I once beheld beauty, I looked into her face. I once beheld beauty; She left without a trace. I once beheld beauty at daybreak; I felt I should be kind for her sake. It was all but over by high noon. Later, I played a dark, lonely tune; Later, I danced around the dark lake. I once beheld beauty at daybreak. I once beheld beauty, I looked into her face. I once beheld beauty; She left without a trace. I once beheld beauty in a dream; We knelt together by a clear stream. I saw her reflection in the brook, That one fleeting look was all it took To topple my most feeble regime. I once beheld beauty in a dream. I once beheld beauty, I looked into her face. I once beheld beauty; She left without a trace. Copyright 2003 Lex Zaleta | |
