Mirth the halls of Troy was filling	A
Ere its lofty ramparts fell	B
From the golden lute so thrilling	A
Hymns of joy were heard to swell	B
From the sad and tearful slaughter	C
All had laid their arms aside	D
For Pelides Priam's daughter	C
Claimed then as his own fair bride	D
	-
Laurel branches with them bearing	A
Troop on troop in bright array	E
To the temples were repairing	A
Owning Thymbrius' sovereign sway	E
Through the streets with frantic measure	C
Danced the bacchanal mad round	F
And amid the radiant pleasure	C
Only one sad breast was found	F
	-
Joyless in the midst of gladness	G
None to heed her none to love	H
Roamed Cassandra plunged in sadness	G
To Apollo's laurel grove	I
To its dark and deep recesses	G
Swift the sorrowing priestess hied	F
And from off her flowing tresses	G
Tore the sacred band and cried	F
	-
All around with joy is beaming	A
Ev'ry heart is happy now	J
And my sire is fondly dreaming	A
Wreathed with flowers my sister's brow	J
I alone am doomed to wailing	A
That sweet vision flies from me	K
In my mind these walls assailing	A
Fierce destruction I can see	K
	-
Though a torch I see all glowing	A
Yet 'tis not in Hymen's hand	F
Smoke across the skies is blowing	A
Yet 'tis from no votive brand	F
Yonder see I feasts entrancing	A
But in my prophetic soul	L
Hear I now the God advancing	A
Who will steep in tears the bowl	L
	-
And they blame my lamentation	J
And they laugh my grief to scorn	J
To the haunts of desolation	J
I must bear my woes forlorn	J
All who happy are now shun me	K
And my tears with laughter see	K
Heavy lies thy hand upon me	K
Cruel Pythian deity	K
	-
Thy divine decrees foretelling	A
Wherefore hast thou thrown me here	M
Where the ever blind are dwelling	A
With a mind alas too clear	N
Wherefore hast thou power thus given	J
What must needs occur to know	J
Wrought must be the will of Heaven	J
Onward come the hour of woe	J
	-
When impending fate strikes terror	C
Why remove the covering	A
Life we have alone in error	C
Knowledge with it death must bring	A
Take away this prescience tearful	O
Take this sight of woe from me	K
Of thy truths alas how fearful	O
'Tis the mouthpiece frail to be	K
	-
Veil my mind once more in slumbers	K
Let me heedlessly rejoice	K
Never have I sung glad numbers	K
Since I've been thy chosen voice	K
Knowledge of the future giving	A
Thou hast stolen the present day	F
Stolen the moment's joyous living	A
Take thy false gift then away	F
	-
Ne'er with bridal train around me	K
Have I wreathed my radiant brow	J
Since to serve thy fane I bound me	K
Bound me with a solemn vow	J
Evermore in grief I languish	P
All my youth in tears was spent	F
And with thoughts of bitter anguish	P
My too feeling heart is rent	F
	-
Joyously my friends are playing	A
All around are blest and glad	F
In the paths of pleasure straying	A
My poor heart alone is sad	F
Spring in vain unfolds each treasure	C
Filling all the earth with bliss	K
Who in life can e'er take pleasure	C
When is seen its dark abyss	K
	-
With her heart in vision burning	A
Truly blest is Polyxene	J
As a bride to clasp him yearning	A
Him the noblest best Hellene	J
And her breast with rapture swelling	A
All its bliss can scarcely know	J
E'en the Gods in heavenly dwelling	A
Envying not when dreaming so	J
	-
He to whom my heart is plighted	F
Stood before my ravished eye	Q
And his look by passion lighted	F
Toward me turned imploringly	O
With the loved one oh how gladly	O
Homeward would I take my flight	F
But a Stygian shadow sadly	O
Steps between us every night	F
	-
Cruel Proserpine is sending	A
All her spectres pale to me	O
Ever on my steps attending	A
Those dread shadowy forms I see	O
Though I seek in mirth and laughter	C
Refuge from that ghastly train	J
Still I see them hastening after	C
Ne'er shall I know joy again	J
	-
And I see the death steel glancing	A
And the eye of murder glare	R
On with hasty strides advancing	A
Terror haunts me everywhere	R
Vain I seek alleviation	J
Knowing seeing suffering all	O
I must wait the consummation	J
In a foreign land must fall	O
	-
While her solemn words are ringing	A
Hark a dull and wailing tone	J
From the temple's gate upspringing	A
Dead lies Thetis' mighty son	J
Eris shakes her snake locks hated	F
Swiftly flies each deity	O
And o'er Ilion's walls ill fated	F
Thunder clouds loom heavily	O
