Analysis of Sonnet - Beauty Be
Beauty be thy lily set
Among the shadows of the day
A humble shadow in silhouette
Where lilies nestle, in gentle sway
A filament, the palest green
Another in tones of earthly brown
Petals wept in pastel cream
Upon the place where lilies noun
Speckled shades appeared in doted form
A hint of a freckles, bathed in light
Unequalled beauty in its norm
Although the lilies, swayed gently in the light
Heavenly be thy splendour, within my sight
Earthly treasure born into light
