I	A
Apollo Apollo Apollo	B
	-
II	A
Where hast thou Apollo gone	C
I have wandered on and on	D
Through the shaggy Dorian gorges	E
Down from where Parnassus forges	F
Thunder for the Phocian valleys	G
Where the Pleistus springs and sallies	G
Past ravines and caverns dread	H
Have like it meander d	I
But I cannot see thee hear thee	I
Find thee feel thee get anear thee	I
Though in quest of thee I go where	J
Thou didst haunt I find thee nowhere	J
Apollo Apollo Apollo	B
	-
III	A
Still no answer comes Apollo	B
Vainly do I call and holloa	B
Into each Crissoean cleft	K
Where the last year's leaves are left	K
Deem not I have pushed my way	L
But from stony Amphiss	G
I have come from far off land	M
Traversed foam traversed sand	M
From green pastures sea surrounded	N
Where thy phorminx never sounded	N
O'er the broad and barren acres	G
Of the vainly furrowed breakers	G
Across mountains loftier far	O
Than the peaks of Pindus are	O
Skirted groves of pine and fir	P
Denser than lone Tempe's were	P
With no selfish tread but only	B
I might find thee lovely lonely	B
Lingering by thy sacred city	B
On me wilt thou not have pity	B
Sun god Song god I implore thee	B
Glow and let me pale before thee	B
Apollo Apollo Apollo	B

Fallen tablet prostrate column	Q
Solitude and silence solemn	Q
Half tilled patches squalid hovels	G
Where life multiplies and grovels	G
Is this Delphi this the shrine	R
Of the Musagete divine	R
This the cavern this the cell	B
Of the Pythian oracle	B
Where the tripod where the altar	P
Incense embassy and psalter	P
Can this pool of cresses be	B
Cradle of pure Castaly	B
From the rock though still it bubbles	G
Travels onwards halts and doubles	G
Where the Muses wont to lave	-
Limbs as vestal as its wave	-
'Mong the flashing waters flashing	S
Gaunt and withered crones are washing	S
Not a note of lyre or zittern	R
But below the booming bittern	R
Waits his quarry to inveigle	B
While o'erhead the silent eagle	B
Blinking stares at the blank sun	R
All of thee that is not gone	R
Apollo Apollo	B
	-
V	B
Who art thou intruder weird	T
With the fine and flowing beard	T
Whom no snowy robes encumber	P
But a habit black and sombre	P
Yet in whose compos d eyes	G
Lurks the light of mysteries	G
Priest thou seemest but not one	R
Of the loved Latona's son	R
In thy aspect is no gladness	G
Glance nor gleam of joyous madness	G
Only gloom only sadness	G
Underneath thy knotted girdle	B
Thoughts congeal and passions curdle	B
And about thy brow ascetic	U
Lives nor light nor line prophetic	U
Priest but priest not of Apollo	B
Whither wouldst thou have me follow	B
Lead but onward I will enter	P
Where thy cold gaze seems to centre	P
Underneath yon portal dismal	B
Into dusk and chill abysmal	B
Hast thou pent him Is He lying	S
There within dethroned and dying	S
If thou breathest hear me crying	S
Apollo Apollo Apollo ''	-
	-
VI	-
No but here He cannot be	B
God of light and poesy	G
What are these I see around	V
Gloomy upon gloomy ground	V
Making wall and roof to seem	W
Sepulchre of morbid dream	W
Visages with aspect stony	B
Bodies lean and lank and bony	B
In whose lineaments I trace	G
Neither love nor joy nor grace	G
Youth with limbs disused and old	X
Maidens pale contorted cold	X
Flames devouring pincers wrenching	S
Muscles naked but unblenching	S
Writhing snakes forked venom darting	S
Into flesh wounds gaping smarting	S
Furies shagged with tresses fell	B
Ghouls and ghosts of nether hell	B
Priest of beauty Priest of song	S
Aid me if thou still art strong	S
See me save me bear me whither	P
Glows thy light that brought me hither	P
Apollo Apollo Apollo	B
	-
VII	-
O the sunshine once again	R
O to stand a man 'mong men	R
Lo the horrid nightmare pales	G
In the light of flowing vales	G
In the gaze of steadfast mountains	G
Sidelong runnels forward fountains	G
Spacious sky receding air	P
Breadth and bounty everywhere	P
What if all the gods be dead	H
Nature reigneth in their stead	H
Let me dream the noon away	L
Underneath this full blown bay	L
Where the yellow bees are busy	B
Till they stagger drowsy dizzy	B
From the honeyed wine that wells	G
Up the branches to the cells	G
Of the myriad clustered flowers	G
Dropping golden flakes in showers	G
Here reclined I will surrender	P
Sense and soul unto the tender	P
Mingling of remote and close	G
Gods voluptuous gods morose	G
Altars at whose marble meet	Y
Downcast eyes and dancing feet	Y
Awful dirges glad carouse	G
Unveiled bosoms shaded brows	G
Wreath d steer and tonsured skull	B
Shapes austere with beautiful	B
Till the past and present swim	Z
In an ether distant dim	Z
And the Delphic fumes rise denser	P
From a silver swinging censer	P
And in one harmonious dream	W
Through a heavenly nimbus gleam	W
Lovely limbs and longings saintly	B
And pale virgins murmur faintly	B
Apollo Apollo Apollo ''	-
	-
VIII	-
Priest but priest not of Apollo	B
Why dost thou my footsteps follow	B
From the deep dark shrine down there	P
To this temple of the air	P
What profaner wouldst thou lay	L
Hands upon the sacred bay	L
Tearing Daphne limb from limb	Z
Hast thou then no dread of Him	Z
How For me Avaunt and pass	G
I am not fool Marsyas	G
Stay Then to my forehead bind it	A2
Round my temples wreathe and wind it	A2
'Chance the Avenger then will come	Q
Haunt and grot no more be dumb	Q
But the rills and steeps be ringing	S
And a long array come singing	S
Apollo Apollo Apollo ''	-
	-
IX	G
All in vain Nor prayer nor taunt	B2
Tempts him back to his loved haunt	B2
Fretted tablet fallen column	Q
Solitude and silence solemn	Q
He again from Peneus ne'er	P
Will to Castaly repair	P
Never more in cavern dread	H
Will his oracles be read	H
Now I know that Thou art dead	H
Apollo	B
	-
X	G
Then like fountain in mine ear	P
Spake the god aloud and clear	P
Take it Wear it Tis for thee	B
Singer from the Northern Sea	B
If the least not last of those	G
Suckled 'mong the genial snows	G
Though the Muses may have left	K
Tempe's glen and Delphi's cleft	K
Wanderer they have only gone	R
Hence to murmuring Albion	R
Need was none to travel hither	P
Child of England go back thither	P
Traverse foam traverse sand	M
Back and in thy native land	M
Thou wilt find what thou dost seek	S
There the oracles still speak	S
There the mounting fumes inspire	P
Glowing brain and living lyre	P
There the Muses prompt the strain	R
There they renovate my reign	R
There thou wilt not call in vain	R
Apollo Apollo Apollo '''	-
