<\/p>\n
From where did your beauty come<\/p>\n
before it was your own?<\/p>\n
It must be archetypical<\/p>\n
such beauty could not arise alone,<\/p>\n
born on just any face.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps it was the same beauty<\/p>\n
that did cast a thousand ships,<\/p>\n
or maybe it was the beauty<\/p>\n
some sought to contain in ancient crypts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It could be the beauty<\/p>\n
of an Eden far, far away,<\/p>\n
set to life by angels<\/p>\n
trumpeting its blessing, your birthday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This\u00a0 could be the beauty<\/p>\n
that made the first man blush,<\/p>\n
that first primal beauty<\/p>\n
the beat to which all winds rush.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps it is the bauty<\/p>\n
which to the gods did solely belong,<\/p>\n
until stolen by your innocence<\/p>\n
while they sat passively, enchanted by your song.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Much I know not<\/p>\n
but I do know this beauty was not before,<\/p>\n
rising not from earthly mud<\/p>\n
but made of timeless bud, pure to the core.<\/p>\n
