CLOUD HOSTS AT DAWN by CATHERINE AMES CLINEDINST

First Line: ONWARD THE SHIPS OF TROY, ALL SAFFRON-SAILED
Last Line: WHENCE CAME THESE GOLDEN GHOSTS ACROSS THE SKY'S BLUE DOME?

Onward the ships of Troy, all saffron-sailed,
Upon a sapphire sea, with none to call them home.
Where go these phantom fleets, all fire-trailed?
Whence came these golden ghosts across the sky's blue dome?
