She sits before me, an infallible piece br A masterwork of bone, sinew, and skin br Defying perfection her fairest cheeks and feminine chin br Her form crafted and carved as a statue of ancient Greece br br Lo! I would keep her hidden, a secret held unto me br Locked away to appease my most jealous heart br For it would cause a mortal cut if e’er we were apart br My soul she holds captive, her eyes contained the very key br br But I could not withhold such beauty from the Earth br A prisoner to my selfishness, a fate yet undeserved br Her expert shape and classical features to all should be observed br Not all the gold of all the nations could match her shine or worth br br So go my ornate masterpiece! br Go and share your radiant gleam br Go my Venus de Milo, my Winged Victory br And light the world with your achromic beambr br Beach Leanbhbr br
