Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDA EFGFFG| So long you wandered on the dusky plain | A |
| Where flit the shadows with their endless cry | B |
| You reach the shore where all the world goes by | B |
| You leave the strife the slavery the pain | A |
| But we but we the mortals that remain | A |
| In vain stretch hands for Charon sullenly | C |

| In the dim woods and drink forgetfulness | F |
| Of us your friends a weary crowd that press | F |
| About the gate or labour at the oar | G |
