I	A
	-
Captive on a foreign shore	B
Far from Ilion's hoary wave	C
Agamemnon's bridal slave	C
Speaks Futurity no more	B
Death is busy with her grave	C
	-
II	A
	-
Thick as water bursts remote	D
Round her ears the alien din	E
While her little sullen chin	E
Fills the hollows of her throat	D
Silent lie her slaughter'd kin	E
	-
III	A
	-
Once to many a pealing shriek	F
Lo from Ilion's topmost tower	G
Ilion's fierce prophetic flower	G
Cried the coming of the Greek	F
Black in Hades sits the hour	G
	-
IV	C
	-
Eyeing phantoms of the Past	H
Folded like a prophet's scroll	I
In the deep's long shoreward roll	I
Here she sees the anchor cast	H
Backward moves her sunless soul	I
	-
V	C
	-
Chieftains brethren of her joy	J
Shades the white light in their eyes	K
Slanting to her lips arise	K
Crowding quick the plains of Troy	J
Now they tell her not she lies	K
	-
VI	C
	-
O the bliss upon the plains	L
Where the joining heroes clashed	M
Shield and spear and unabashed	M
Challenged with hot chariot reins	L
Gods they glimmer ocean washed	N
	-
VII	C
	-
Alien voices round the ships	O
Thick as water shouting Home	P
Argives pale as midnight foam	P
Wax before her awful lips	O
White as stars that front the gloom	Q
	-
VIII	C
	-
Like a torch flame that by day	R
Up the daylight twists and pale	S
Catches air in leaps that fail	S
Crushed by the inveterate ray	R
Through her shines the Ten Years' Tale	S
	-
IX	O
	-
Once to many a pealing shriek	F
Lo from Ilion's topmost tower	G
Ilion's fierce prophetic flower	G
Cried the coming of the Greek	F
Black in Hades sits the hour	G
	-
X	O
	-
Still upon her sunless soul	I
Gleams the narrow hidden space	O
Forward where her fiery race	O
Falters on its ashen goal	I
Still the Future strikes her face	O
	-
XI	O
	-
See toward the conqueror's car	T
Step the purple Queen whose hate	U
Wraps red armed her royal mate	U
With his Asian tempest star	T
Now Cassandra views her Fate	U
	-
XII	O
	-
King of men the blinded host	V
Shout she lifts her brooding chin	E
Glad along the joyous din	E
Smiles the grand majestic ghost	V
Clytemnestra leads him in	E
	-
XIII	O
	-
Lo their smoky limbs aloof	C
Shadowing heaven and the seas	O
Fates and Furies tangling Threes	O
Tear and mix above the roof	C
Fates and fierce Eumenides	O
	-
XIV	C
	-
Is the prophetess with rods	O
Beaten that she writhes in air	W
With the Gods who never spare	W
Wrestling with the unsparing Gods	O
Lone her body struggles there	W
	-
XV	C
	-
Like the snaky torch flame white	X
Levelled as aloft it twists	O
She her soaring arms and wrists	O
Drooping struggles with the light	X
Helios bright above all mists	O
	-
XVI	C
	-
In his orb she sees the tower	G
Dusk against its flaming rims	O
Where of old her wretched limbs	O
Twisted with the stolen power	G
Ilium all the lustre dims	O
	-
XVII	C
	-
O the bliss upon the plains	O
Where the joining heroes clashed	M
Shield and spear and unabashed	M
Challenged with hot chariot reins	O
Gods they glimmer ocean washed	N
	-
XVIII	C
	-
Thrice the Sun god's name she calls	O
Shrieks the deed that shames the sky	C
Like a fountain leaping high	C
Falling as a fountain falls	O
Lo the blazing wheels go by	C
	-
XIX	O
	-
Captive on a foreign shore	B
Far from Ilion's hoary wave	C
Agamemnon's bridal slave	C
Speaks Futurity no more	B
Death is busy with her grave	C
