Ode To Keats

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

let me count the ways

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

so near, so far away

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

one chance to cross the line

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

love is so defined

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

as time begins today

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

one word, so much to say

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty,

to reach inside oneself

 

Beauty is truth,

truth is beauty

 —whose passion only felt
