Rhyme Scheme: AAABCB DDDBCB EEFBCB GGGBCB HHHBCB IJIBCB KKKBCB| The breath of dew and twilight's grace | A |
| Be on the lonely battle place | A |
| And to so young so kind a face | A |
| The long protecting grasses cling | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
| - | |
| In rocky hollows cool and deep | D |
| The bees our boyhood hunted sleep | D |
| The early moon from Ida's steep | D |
| Comes to the empty wrestling ring | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
| - | |
| Upon the widowed wind recede | E |
| No echoes of the shepherd's reed | E |
| And children without laughter lead | F |
| The war horse to the watering | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
| - | |
| Thou stranger Ajax Telamon | G |
| What to the loveliest hast thou done | G |
| That ne'er with him a maid may run | G |
| Across the marigolds in spring | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
| - | |
| With footstep separate and slow | H |
| The father and the mother go | H |
| Not now upon an urn they know | H |
| To mingle tears for comforting | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
| - | |
| The world to me has nothing dear | I |
| Beyond the namesake river here | J |
| O Simois is wild and clear | I |
| And to his brink my heart I bring | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
| - | |
| My heart no more if that might be | K |
| Would stay his waters from the sea | K |
| To cover Troy to cover me | K |
| To save us from the perishing | B |
| Alas alas | C |
| The one inexorable thing | B |
