One Candle Dissolves Darkness

Unequalled sequel: svelte sylph serenaded
by candlelight, bright at unique address,
star beauty shines not of itself, unshaded,
fair face embraced, encased in tenderness.
There is no split, no art has Nature aided
dismissing seasons, damming death's abyss.
No gulf: praise traces glories grace unfaded
of gifted girl whose allegresse gilds kiss
felt, unseen, card dealt once each umpteen eras
to melt lips frozen, icy hearts frost free
spelled each ten aeons, this truth's upheld as clear as
life itself epitomised in She.
None dare name names, may beauty comprehend
one fabled flame frames timeless fame sans end.
