"Pillared Arch And Sculptured Tower"

________________________________________________
Title:     "Pillared Arch And Sculptured Tower"
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich [More Titles by Aldrich]

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!






[The end]
