Demeter sad the wells of sorrow lay	A
Eternal gushing in thy lonely path	B
	-
Methinks I see her now an awful shape	C
Tall o'er a dragon team in frenzied search	D
From Argive plains unto the jeweled shores	E
Of the remotest Ind where Usha's hand	F
Tinged her grief cloven brow with kindly touch	G
And Savitar wheeled genial thro' the skies	H
O'er palmy regions of the faneless Brahm	I
	-
In melancholy search I see her roam	J
O'er the steep peaks of Himalayas keen	K
With the unmellowed frosts of Boreal storms	L
Then back again with that wild mother woe	M
Writ in the anguished fire of her eyes	H
Back where old Atlas groans 'neath weight of worlds	N
And the Cimmerian twilight glooms the soul	O
Deep was her sleep in Persia's haunted vales	P
Where many a languid Philomela moaned	Q
The bursting sorrow of a bursting soul	O
I see her nigh Ionia's swelling seas	R
Cull from the sands a labyrinthine shell	S
And hark the mystery of its eery voice	T
Float from the hollow windings of its curl	U
Then cast it far into the weedy sea	V
To view the salt spray flash like one soft plume	W
Dropped from the wings of Eros 'gainst the flame	X
Of Helios' car down sloping toward his bath	B
I see her beg a coral flute of red	Y
From a tailed Triton and on Ithakan rocks	Z
High seated at the starry death of day	A
When Selene rose from off her salty couch	A2
To smile a glory on her face of sorrow	M
Pipe forth sad airs that made the Sirens weep	B2
In their green caves beneath the sodden sands	C2
And hoar Poseidon clear his wrinkled front	D2
And still his surgy clamors to a sigh	E2
	-
This do I see and more ah yes far more	F2
I see her 'mid the lonely groves of Crete	G2
The wild hinds fright from the o'ervaulted green	K
Of thickest boscage tangling their close covert	H2
With horror of her torches and her wail	I2
Persephone Persephone till the pines	J2
Of rugged Dicte shuddered thro' their cones	K2
And Echo shrieked down in her deepest chasms	K2
A wild reply unto her wild complaint	L2
As wild as when she voiced those maidens' woe	M
Athenian tribute to stern Minos king	M2
When coiling grim the Minotaur they saw	K2
Far in his endless labyrinth of stone	N2
