“Pillared Arch and Sculptured Tower”

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!
