English poem
Iii
by Bliss Carman
Power and beauty and knowledge,— Pan, Aphrodite, or Hermes,— Whom shall we life-loving mortals Serve and be happy?
Lo now, your garlanded altars, Are they not goodly with flowers? Have ye not honour and pleasure In lovely Lesbos?
Will ye not, therefore, a little Hearten, impel, and inspire One who adores, with a favour Threefold in wonder?
