Analysis of What beauty is
What beauty is is all to see
A look within within the seas
What beauty is is twice the kind
To find a hand a hand in mine
What beauty is is turned to stone
A blade if three three times as strong
What beauty is is all for free
From earth to sky sky to sea
What beauty is is drawn so coloured
And what is plain plain and mulled
What beauty is is frought in vain
For all it shines shines in pain
