Here you will find the Poem Pillared Arch and Sculptured Tower of poet Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Pillared Arch and Sculptured Tower

Pillared arch and sculptured tower 
Of Ilium have had their hour; 
The dust of many a king is blown 
On the winds from zone to zone; 
Many a warrior sleeps unknown. 
Time and Death each hold in thrall, 
Yet is Love the lord of all; 
Still does Helen's beauty stir 
Because a poet sang of her!
