Witter Bynner - Grieve Not for Beauty lyrics

Grieve not for the invisible, transported brow On which like leaves the dark hair grew, Nor for the lips of laughter that are now Laughing inaudibly in sun and dew, Nor for the limbs that, fallen low, And seeming faint and slow, Shall yet pursue More ways of swiftness than the shallow dips Among . . . . and find more winds than ever blew The straining sails of unimpeded ships! Mourn not! - yield only happy tears To deeper beauty than appears!
