Troy Town is covered up with weeds	A
The rabbits and the pismires brood	B
On broken gold and shards and beads	A
Where Priam's ancient palace stood	C
	-
The floors of many a gallant house	D
Are matted with the roots of grass	E
The glow worm and the nimble mouse	D
Among her ruins flit and pass	E
	-
And there in orts of blackened bone	F
The widowed Trojan beauties lie	G
And Simois babbles over stone	F
And waps and gurgles to the sky	G
	-
Once there were merry days in Troy	H
Her chimneys smoked with cooking meals	I
The passing chariots did annoy	H
The sunning housewives at their wheels	I
	-
And many a lovely Trojan maid	J
Set Trojan lads to lovely things	K
The game of life was nobly played	J
They played the game like Queens and Kings	K
	-
So that when Troy had greatly passed	L
In one red roaring fiery coal	M
The courts the Grecians overcast	L
Became a city in the soul	M
	-
In some green island of the sea	N
Where now the shadowy coral grows	O
In pride and pomp and empery	H
The courts of old Atlantis rose	O
	-
In many a glittering house of glass	E
The Atlanteans wandered there	H
The paleness of their faces was	P
Like ivory so pale they were	H
	-
And hushed they were no noise of words	Q
In those bright cities ever rang	R
Only their thoughts like golden birds	Q
About their chambers thrilled and sang	R
	-
They knew all wisdom for they knew	S
The souls of those Egyptian Kings	K
Who learned in ancient Babilu	M
The beauty of immortal things	K
	-
They knew all beauty when they thought	T
The air chimed like a stricken lyre	H
The elemental birds were wrought	T
The golden birds became a fire	H
	-
And straight to busy camps and marts	U
The singing flames were swiftly gone	V
The trembling leaves of human hearts	U
Hid boughs for them to perch upon	W
	-
And men in desert places men	X
Abandoned broken sick with fears	Y
Rose singing swung their swords agen	X
And laughed and died among the spears	Y
	-
The green and greedy seas have drowned	Z
That city's glittering walls and towers	A2
Her sunken minarets are crowned	Z
With red and russet water flowers	A2
	-
In towers and rooms and golden courts	B2
The shadowy coral lifts her sprays	C2
The scrawl hath gorged her broken orts	C2
The shark doth haunt her hidden ways	C2
	-
But at the falling of the tide	D2
The golden birds still sing and gleam	E2
The Atlanteans have not died	D2
Immortal things still give us dream	E2
	-
The dream that fires man's heart to make	F2
To build to do to sing or say	C2
A beauty Death can never take	F2
An Adam from the crumbled clay	C2
