George Santayana Love Poems

    Behoild Pelides with his yellow hair,
    Proud child of Thetis, hero loved of Jove;

    As in the midst of battle there is room
    For thoughts of love, and in foul sin for mirth;
    As gossips whisper of a trinket's worth

    Spied by the death-bed's flickering candle-gloom;

With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
