I
The maiden queen’s pet maid of honor,
A flower of that fair time wherein
A court of roses smiled upon her,
Had fiercely fought for Grecian glory,
Beheld the pride of Priam fall,
And home in Athens told the story,
Of the Hereafter’s radiant spaces,
Would there have mutely met, and so
Seen love make bright our yearning faces
