Henry Van Dyke - Echoes From the Greek Mythology
Work rating: Low

I - STARLIGHT 

  With two bright eyes, my star, my love, 
     Thou lookest on the stars above: 
     Ah, would that I the heaven might be
     With a million eyes to look on thee. 

Plato. 


II - ROSELEAF 

     A little while the rose, 
     And after that the thorn; 
     An hour of dewy morn, 
     And then the glamour goes. 
     Ah, love in beauty born, 
     A little while the rose! 

Unknown. 


III  - PHOSPHOR — HESPER 

         O morning star, farewell! 
         My love I now must leave; 
     The hours of day I slowly tell, 
     And turn to her with the twilight bell, —
         O welcome, star of eve! 

Meleager. 


IV - SEASONS 

     Sweet in summer, cups of snow, 
     Cooling thirsty lips aglow; 
     Sweet to sailors winter-bound, 
     Spring arrives with garlands crowned; 
     Sweeter yet the hour that covers
     With one cloak a pair of lovers, 
     Living lost in golden weather, 
     While they talk of love together. 

Asclepiades. 


V - THE VINE AND THE GOAT 

     Although you eat me to the root, 
     I yet shall bear enough of fruit
     For wine to sprinkle your dim eyes, 
     When you are made a sacrifice. 

Euenus. 


VI - THE PROFESSOR 

     Seven pupils, in the class 
     Of Professor Callias, 
     Listen silent while he drawls, —
     Three are benches, four are walls. 

Unknown.
