Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHHIIJJ| A wild spring upland all this charmed page | A |
| Where in the early dawn the maenads rage | A |
| Mad chaste and lovely This a darker spot | B |
| Where lone Antigone bewails her lot | B |
| Death for her spouse her bridal bed the tomb | C |
| And this again is some rich palace room | C |
| Where Phsedra pines woodlands the sea | D |
| Or some sweet walk of Sappho beauteously | E |
| Built o'er with rose with bloom of purple grapes | F |
| They are all here the ancient Attic shapes | F |
| Of passion beauty terror love and shame | G |
| Proud shadows you do summon them by name | G |
| Achaean princes Helen the young god | H |
| Fair Dionysus CEdipus who trod | H |
| Such ways of doom Aye these and more than these | I |
| You call across the ages and the seas | I |
| And each one answering doth dream he lists | J |
| To the great voices of old tragedists | J |
