On an ancient vase representing in bas relief the flight of Helen	A
	-
	-
This is the vase of Love	B
Whose feet would ever rove	C
O'er land and sea	D
Whose hopes forever seek	E
Bright eyes the vermeiled cheek	E
And ways made free	D
	-
Do we not understand	F
Why thou didst leave thy land	F
Thy spouse thy hearth	G
Helen of Troy Greek art	H
Hath made our heart thy heart	H
Thy mirth our mirth	I
	-
For Paris did appear	J
Curled hair and rosy ear	K
And tapering hands	L
He spoke the blood ran fast	M
He touched and killed the past	M
And clove its bands	L
	-
And this I deem is why	N
The restless ages sigh	N
Helen for thee	D
Whate'er we do or dream	O
Whate'er we say or seem	O
We would be free	D
	-
We would forsake old love	B
And all the pain thereof	B
And all the care	P
We would find out new seas	Q
And lands more strange than these	Q
And flowers more fair	P
	-
We would behold fresh skies	R
Where summer never dies	R
And amaranths spring	S
Lands where the halcyon hours	T
Nest over scented bowers	T
On folded wing	S
	-
We would be crowned with bays	U
And spend the long bright days	U
On sea or shore	V
Or sit by haunted woods	W
And watch the deep sea's moods	X
And hear its roar	V
	-
Beneath that ancient sky	N
Who is not fain to fly	N
As men have fled	Y
Ah we would know relief	Z
From marts of wine and beef	Z
And oil and bread	Y
	-
Helen of Troy Greek art	H
Hath made our heart thy heart	H
Thy love our love	B
For poesy like thee	D
Must fly and wander free	D
As the wild dove	B
