Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDFGHGI| XXXVI | A |
| - | |
| I hear an army charging upon the land | B |
| And the thunder of horses plunging foam about their knees | C |
| Arrogant in black armour behind them stand | B |
| Disdaining the reins with fluttering ships the charioteers | C |
| They cry unto the night their battle name | D |
| I moan in sleep when I hear afar their whirling laughter | E |
| They cleave the gloom of dreams a blinding flame | D |
| Clanging clanging upon the heart as upon an anvil | F |
| They come shaking in triumph their long green hair | G |
| They come out of the sea and run shouting by the shore | H |
| My heart have you no wisdom thus to despair | G |
| My love my love my love why have you left me alone | I |
James Joyce
