I	A
	-
Is it uneasy moonlight	B
On the restless field that stirs	C
Or wild white meadow blossoms	D
The night wind bends and blurs	C
Is it the dolorous water	E
That sobs in the woods and sighs	F
Or heart of an ancient oak tree	G
That breaks and sighing dies	F
The wind is vague with the shadows	H
That wander in No Man's Land	I
The water is dark with the voices	J
That weep on the Unknown strand	I
	-
O ghosts of the winds that call me	G
O ghosts of the whispering waves	K
As sad as forgotten flowers	C
That die upon nameless graves	K
What is this thing you tell me	G
In tongues of a twilight race	L
Of death with the vanished features	C
Mantled of my own face	L
	-
II	A
	-
The old enigmas of the deathless dawns	M
And riddles of the all immortal eves	N
That still o'er Delphic lawns	M
Speak as the gods spoke through oracular leaves	N
I read with new born eyes	F
Remembering how a slave	O
They buried me a living sacrifice	P
Once in a dead king's grave	O
	-
Or crowned with hyacinth and helichrys	P
How towards the altar in the marble gloom	Q
Hearing the magadis	P
Dirge through the pale amaracine perfume	Q
'Mid chanting priests I trod	R
With never a sigh or pause	P
To give my life to pacify a god	R
And save my country's cause	P
	-
Again Cyrenian roses on wild hair	S
And oil and purple smeared on breasts and cheeks	P
How with mad torches there	S
Reddening the cedars of Cith ron's peaks	P
With gesture and fierce glance	P
Lascivious M nad bands	P
Once drew and slew me in the Pyrrhic dance	P
With Bacchanalian hands	P
	-
III	A
	-
In eons of the senses	P
My spirit knew of yore	T
I found the Isle of Circe	P
And felt her magic lore	T
And still the soul remembers	P
What I was once before	T
	-
She gave me flowers to smell of	U
That wizard branches bore	T
Of weird and sorcerous beauty	G
Whose stems dripped human gore	T
Their scent when I remember	E
I know that world once more	T
	-
She gave me fruits to eat of	U
That grew upon the shore	T
Of necromantic ripeness	P
With human flesh at core	T
Their taste when I remember	E
I know that life once more	T
	-
And then behold a serpent	V
That glides my face before	T
With eyes of tears and fire	E
That glare me o'er and o'er	E
I look into its eyeballs	P
And know myself once more	T
