I saw Dante's Beatrice

Kevin Hulme

I saw Dante's Beatrice one fine Morning in June;

Among the Seasons bold feast, among it's Cheerful Bloom.

For there she did walk in fields of light Sheen;

Like a Radiant Jewel on a Clasp of Bright Green.

Among the Dandified flowers those Masters of Allure;

Their Beauty now dimmed ;  her Radiance more pure.

By the Sun shining down from a Sky of bright blue;

To uphold the Grand laws fine Poetry hold true.

How could I not fall with this 'Will' of mine?

It's Gauze Whisper Thin and She divine.

To have her All within my keep;

And not to   Whom  her Affections speak.

Then MY Golden Ring upon her hand;

If chance had Crossed all Heaven's plan.

For I've seen Dante's Beatrice - though She'll never will be mine;

These Words ,

These Lines ,

This Marble Verse ,

Will forever be her shrine.
