Thy beauty is same as the winter white snow

For which these hands are afraid to besmirch

So pristine and pure, in the darkness aglow

So holy and sacred, nearing to be unchurched

Thy face was created to trap all eyes

Thy eyes were made to offer deception

Thy lips were given for manhood to cry

And lead them to the dangerous temptations

Thou art Helen of another time

With fire and destruction as thy toy

With thy name I write the perfect rhyme

Whilst my heart become a ravaged Troy

Yet still I gave my heart to thee

And prove that to love is to gamble with uncertainty
