Love
Circe, Who Bore the Diadem
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Circe, who bore the diadem
O'er every head we see,
Pursued by thousands, turn'd from them
And fill'd her cup for me.
She seiz'd what little was design'd
To catch a transient view;
For thee alone she left behind
The tender and the true.
