XII

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of Hector in the Garden

And who knows, (I sometimes wondered,)

      If the disembodied soul

      Of old Hector, once of Troy,

      Might not take a dreary joy

Here to enter—if it thundered,

      Rolling up the thunder-roll?
