I pray the prayer of Plato old:
God make thee beautiful within.

The Beauty which old Greece or Rome
Sung, painted, wrought, lies close at home.

Beauty seen is never lost.

Maud Muller, on a summer's day,
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.
Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth
Of simple beauty and rustic health.

Maud Muller (1856)
