O Hades O false gods false to yourselves	A
O Hades 'twas thy brother gave her thee	B
Without a mother's sanction or her knowledge	C
He bare her to the horrid gulfs below	D
And made her queen a shadowy queen of shades	E
Queen of the fiery flood and mournful realms	F
Of grating iron and the clank of chains	G
	-
On blossomed plains in far Trinacria	H
A maiden the dark cascade of whose hair	H
Seemed gleaming rays of midnight 'mid the stars	I
Rays slowly bright'ning 'neath a mellow moon	J
She 'mid the flowers with the Oceanids	I
Sought Echo's passion loved Narcissus pale	K
'Ghast staring in the mirror of a lake	L
Whose smoothness brake his image flickering seen	M
E'en with the fast tears of his dewy eyes	I
A shape there rose with iron wain and steeds	I
'Mid sallow fume of sulphur and pale fires	I
Its countenance meager and its eyes e'en such	N
As the wild ghastly sulphur In its arms	I
Its sooty arms where like to supple steel	O
The muscles rigid lay unto its breast	P
Such as its arms it rushed her fragile form	Q
As bosomed bulks of tempest in their joy	R
With arms of winds drag to their black embrace	I
A fairy mist of white that flecks the summer	H
With shadeless wings of gauze and 'tis no more	H
Heaved on the rapture of its thundering heart	S
	-
The snowy flowers shuddered and grew still	T
With withered faces bowed and on the stream	U
Where all the day it was their wont to stand	V
In silent sisterhood down gazing at their charms	I
Withered and limp and dead laid their fair brows	I
Flames hissed aloft like fiery whips of snakes	I
Blasting and killing all the fragrant sprites	I
That make the dewy zephyrs their dim haunts	I
	-
O foam fair daughters of Oceanus	I
In vain you seek your mate and chide the flowers	I
For hiding her 'neath their broad snowy palms	I
Nor is she hidden in that pearly shell	W
Which like a pinky babe cast from the sea	I
Moans at your pallid feet washed with white spray	H
But sitting by the tumbling blue of waves	I
Mourn to your billows on the foamy sands	I
The falseness of the god who grasps the storm	Q
