I sense that Collins refers to "beauty" as the night. What beauty lingers
around the dark hours of morning. "Foolishness", as being blind to the
beauty that surrounds you.

The sense I get from the last line is that it echoes the first: the terms
"beautiful" and "foolish" are being intimated in reverse: we have become so
beautiful that we have become foolish.
