"Pillared Arch and Sculptured Tower"
The Sisters' Tragedy
Pillared arch and sculptured tower
Of Ilium have had their
hour;
The dust of many a king is blown
On the winds from zone
to zone;
Many a warrior sleeps unknown.
Time and Death hold
each in thrall,
Yet is Love the lord of all;
Still does
Helen's beauty stir
Because a poet sang of her!
