Helen of Troy And Other Poems
Song
You bound strong sandals on my feet,You gave me bread and wine,
And bade me out, 'neath sun and stars,For all the world was mine.
Oh take the sandals off my feet,You know not what you do; For all my
world is in your arms,My sun and stars are you.

The Rose and the Bee
If I were a bee and you were a rose, Would you let me in when the

"If I were a rose and you were a bee, You should never go when you
came to me, I should hold my love on my heart at last, I should close my
leaves and keep you fast, If you were a bee."

have lost my skill to weaveSince I can see.
For while I sang -- ah swift and strange!Love passed and touched me
on the brow, And I who made so many songsAm silent now.

little daisiesAlways knew.
Now the fields are brown and barren,Bitter autumn blows, And of all
the stupid astersNot one knows.

When Love Goes

O mother, I am sick of love,I cannot laugh nor lift my head, My bitter
dreams have broken me,I would my love were dead.
"Drink of the draught I brew for thee, Thou shalt have quiet in its
stead."
II
Where is the silver in the rain,Where is the music in the sea, Where is
the bird that sang all dayTo break my heart with melody?
"The night thou badst Love fly away, He hid them all from
