Explore "Beauty that is Never Old" by James Weldon Johnson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When buffeted and beaten by life's storms, / When by the bitter cares of life oppressed, / I want no surer haven than your arms, / I want no sweeter heaven than your breast.
When over my life's way there falls the blight / Of sunless days, and nights of starless skies;
Enough for me, the calm and steadfast light / That softly shines within your loving eyes.
The world, for me, and all the world can hold / Is circled by your arms; for me there lies, / Within the lights and shadows of your eyes, / The only beauty that is never old.
