First Line: Before a lonely shrine
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Prayer
Before a lonely shrine
Of foam-born Aphrodite,
Ungarlanded of vine,
Undyed by dripping wine,
I brought green bay to twine,
And prayed to her, almighty,
And lo, the prayer of mine
Was heard of Aphrodite.
