Sometimes I Wish That I Were Helen-Fair Poem by Lesbia Harford

Sometimes I Wish That I Were Helen-Fair

Rating: 2.7


Sometimes I wish that I were Helen-fair
And wise as Pallas,
That I might have most royal gifts to pour
In love's sweet chalice.
Then I reflect my dear love is no god
But mortal only
And in this heavenly wife might deem himself
Not blest, but lonely.
