SONG FOR A GREEK STATUE

I REMEMBER all the music of the Ages, Pipes of Pan, Or songs of Man, The music of the Sirens And poems of Lord Byron's- All the music of the Ages, I have heard it, I remember it all.

I remember all the wisdom of the Sages, Socrates' Philosophies, Cassandra's warning vision, And Solon's erudition, All the wisdom of the Sages,

All that Man has ever known—

Were you such a fool to think

I had a heart of stone ?

V. C. CLINTON-BADDELEY.
