BLESS ME WITH THOSE EYES

 

N. V. Subbaraman

 

“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever”

Words of Keats one can forget never

What is beauty-beauty is where

One can enjoy here and there, everywhere

Grecian urn a beautiful piece

Niagara Falls a beautiful place

Silver streaks of water bring us peace

Hills and dales sure nature’s grace!

Does beauty lie in the objects seen

Or lie in the eyes of the seer keen?

Beauty seen in the scorching sun

Beauty felt in the biting cold

Beauty heard in the melody of birds

Beauty smelt in the fragrance of rose

Beauty tasted in the bitterness of neem

Beauty found sure in every mean(s)!

“Beauty is truth and truth beauty

That is all what ye know on earth

And what all ye need to know”

Words of wisdom

From votary of beauty

And a devotee of Almighty!

Creator of noble beauty

Harbinger of peace and piety

Bless me with those eyes and mind

Beauty in ugliness that they can find!

Beauty of the mind and that of the soul

Sure makes one the wholesome whole!
