Explore "Athenian" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Your voice I knew, its cadences and thrill; / It stilled the tumult and the overthrow / When Athens trembled to the people's will; / I knew it -- 'twas a thousand years ago.
I see the fountains, and the gardens where / You sang the fury from the Satrap's brow; / I feel the quiver in the raptured air, / I heard it in the Athenian grove -- I hear you now.
