HELEN'S face is like a book— Charming, all its pages. Helen's face is like a book; What's the story I forsook, When on Helen's face I look, When her smile engages? There I read an old romance; Here, I see one living! There, I read an old romance, But in Helen's lightest glance Far a livelier tale enchants, Wild excitement giving! What is printer's ink to me? Commas, dots and dashes! What is printer's ink to me, If with Helen I may be, Exclamation points to see Underneath her lashes? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPH IN BALLADE FORM by FRANCOIS VILLON THE BIRTHNIGHT: TO F by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ALNWICK CASTLE by FITZ-GREENE HALLECK TO SIR HENRY CARY by BEN JONSON THE DEATH OF AUTUMN by EDNA ST.
