I Died For Beauty

I died for Beauty — but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room —
He questioned softly "Why I failed?"
"For Beauty," I replied —
"And I — for Truth — Themself are One —
We Brethren, are," He said —
And so, as Kinsmen, met a Night —
We talked between the Rooms —
Until the Moss had reached our lips —
And covered up — Our names —
