Knight-errant through the vernal camps. Where jasmines, in their virgin joy. Relume perfumed " lamps." On him She smiled in many a glen. By many a wild and weird lagoon. Where erst the songs of Marion's men Rang to the midnight moon. She gave him of her grace antique. Of deeds divine, divinely sung ; She thrilled him w^ith the surge of Greek And Rome's majestic tongue. Deeply he felt that ancient grace. That pow^er, which bade the song outroU ; The song of Helen's fatal face And Hector's patrio...t soul. So deeply — that in after days To his own Troy, beleaguered long, Serene amid the battle's blaze He sang a clarion song. His Troy went down ; but o'er the hush Of the spent storm of blood and tears, Sweeter than lilt of lark or thrush. Up the resounding years His lyric rapture echoing flows, Each vital note as crystal-clear As dew of dawn upon the rose Or Pity's perfect tear. O Poesy, so quick to thrill And soften e'en a foeman's breast. No compass bounds thy scope and skill — No South, North, East or West.
