Her name is "Wisdom". The subject of this song bemoans the sacrifices he has made in the quest for understanding (family, wife, children, a "normal" life) and laments the fact that his "sainthood" - self-righteousness and false humility - amounts to diddly squat in Her most perfect eyes. He soon discovers that she, the Virgin of virgins, will never yield to his false chastity...
...so he throws a temper tantrum and eats the "Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil". He becomes his own personal little god and is rewarded in vanity.
He chose his will over Hers and missed out on the best Wife a man could ever have.

You say, "Her name is Wisdom", but the title is 'I came so far for Beauty'. Just substitute 'Beauty' for 'she' in each line. He did all this trying to achieve beauty, to possess beauty, to impress beauty, but beauty doesn't care because beauty alone has no substance.
