This lunar beauty <br />Has no history <br />Is complete and early, <br />If beauty later <br />Bear any feature <br />It had a lover <br />And is another. <br /> <br />This like a dream <br />Keeps other time <br />And daytime is <br />The loss of this, <br />For time is inches <br />And the heart's changes <br />Where ghost has haunted <br />Lost and wanted. <br /> <br />But this was never <br />A ghost's endeavor <br />Nor finished this, <br />Was ghost at ease, <br />And till it pass <br />Love shall not near <br />The sweetness here <br />Nor sorrow take <br />His endless look.<br /><br />WH Auden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-lunar-beauty-2/
