Ἑλένη

"Helen, thy beauty is to me 

    Like those Nicean barks of yore, 
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, 
    The weary, way-worn wanderer bore 
    To his own native shore. 

On desperate seas long wont to roam, 
    Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, 
Thy Naiad airs have brought me home 
    To the gloty that Greece 
And the grandeur that was Rome. 

Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche 
    How statue-like I see thee stand! 
    The agate lamp within thy land, 
Ah! Psyche, from the regions which 
    Are Holy Land!"
