   > Helen, thy beauty is to me   
   > Like those Nicean barks of yore,   
   > That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,   
   > The weary, wayworn wanderer bore   
   > To his own native shore.   
   > On desperate seas long wont to roam,   
   > Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,   
   > Thy Naiad airs have brought me home   
   > To the glory that was Greece   
   > And the grandeur that was Rome.   
   >   
   > Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche   
   > How statue-like I see thee stand,   
   > The agate lamp within thy hand!   
   > Ah, Psyche, from the regions which   
   > Are Holy Land!

   Again, an all-time favorite Poe poem, one of the big inspirations on my poetry   
   when I was a lad.
