Ode To Keats

Kurt Philip Behm

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
