When buffeted and beaten by life's storms, <br />When by the bitter cares of life oppressed, <br />I want no surer haven than your arms, <br />I want no sweeter heaven than your breast. <br /> <br />When over my life's way there falls the blight <br />Of sunless days, and nights of starless skies; <br />Enough for me, the calm and steadfast light <br />That softly shines within your loving eyes. <br /> <br />The world, for me, and all the world can hold <br />Is circled by your arms; for me there lies, <br />Within the lights and shadows of your eyes, <br />The only beauty that is never old.<br /><br />James Weldon Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-that-is-never-old/
