XXIII.

Name: Helen of Troy - XXIII.
Author: Andrew Lang

"Then was I born to sorrow; and in fear
The dark priest took me from my sire, and bore
A wailing child through beech and pinewood drear,
Up to the knees of Ida, and the hoar
Rocks whence a fountain breaketh evermore,
And leaps with shining waters to the sea,
Through black and rock-wall’d pools without a shore, -
And there they deem’d they took farewell of me.
