Thy
\ntears fall fast, O mother, on its bloom. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

O
\nwhite-armed mother, like honey fall thy tears; <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet
\neven their sweetness can no more relume <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\ngolden light, the fragrance heaven rears, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nfragrance and the light for ever shed, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon
\nhis lips immortal who is dead.

<\/span><\/p>\n

A
\nperfect face amid barbarian faces,
\nA perfect voice of sweet and serious rhyme,
\nTraveller with calm, inimitable paces,
\nCritic with judgment absolute to all time,
\nA complete strength when men were maimed and weak, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

German
\nobscured the spirit of a Greek.

Pythian
\nhe came; repressed beneath his heel <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nhydra of the world with bruis\u00e8<\/font>d head. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Vainly,
\nsince Fate’s immeasurable wheel <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Could
\nparley with a straw. A weakling sped <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nbullet when to custom’s usual night <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

We
\nfell because a woman’s faith was light.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
