To Helen

• Helen, thy beauty is to me
• Like those Nicean barks of yore
• That gently, oer 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 glory that was Greece,
• And the grandeur that was Rome.
• - Edgar Allen Poe
