Where's Héloise, the learned nun,
For whose sake Abeillard, I ween,
Lost manhood and put priesthood on?
(From Love he won such dule and teen!)
And where, I pray you, is the Queen
Who willed that Buridan should steer

Sewed in a sack's mouth down the Seine? .
But where are the snows of yester-year?

White Queen Blanche, like a queen of lilies,
With a voice like any mermaiden,—
Bertha Broadfoot, Beatrice, Alice,

...

And Ermengarde the lady of Maine,— And that good Joan whom Englishmen At Rouen doomed and burned her there,Mother of God, where are they then? . . . But where are the snows of yester-year?

Nay, never ask this week, fair lord,
Where they are gone, nor yet this year,
Except with this for an overword,—
But where are the snows of yester-year?

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

I WONDER IN WHAT ISLE OF BLISS

I wonder in what Isle of Bliss
Apollo's music fills the air;

In what green valley Artemis.

For young Endymion spreads the snare; Where Venus lingers debonair:

The Wind has blown them all away—

And Pan lies piping in his lair-
Where are the Gods of Yesterday?

Say where the great Semiramis

Sleeps in a rose-red tomb; and where

The precious dust of Cæsar is,

Or Cleopatra's yellow hair:

Where Alexander Do-and-Dare;

The Wind has blown them all awayAnd Redbeard of the Iron Chair;

Where are the Dreams of Yesterday?

Where is the Queen of Herod's kiss,
And Phyrne in her beauty bare;
By what strange sea does Tomyris
With Dido and Cassandra share
Divine Proserpina's despair;

The Wind has blown them all away— For what poor Ghost does Helen care? Where are the Girls of Yesterday?

Alas for lovers! Pair by pair

The Wind has blown them all away: The young and yare, the fond and fair: Where are the Snows of Yesterday?
