The dream that fires man's heart to make,

To build, to do, to sing or say

A beauty Death can never take,

An Adam from the crumbled clay.

BORN FOR NOUGHT ELSE

Born for nought else, for nothing but for this,

To watch the soft blood throbbing in her throat,

To think how comely sweet her body is,

And learn the poem of her face by rote.

Born for nought else but to attempt a rhyme
