Part 2 — TO HELEN
Reading edition
If wandering in a wizard's car Through yon blue ether, I were able To fashion of a little star A taper for my Helen's table;— "What then?" she asks me with a laugh— Why, then, with all heaven's luster glowing, It would not gild her path with half The light her love o'er mine is throwing!
Winthrop Mackworth Praed [1802-1839]
