| - | |
| How vain and dull this common world must seem | B |
| To such a One as thou who should'st have talked | C |
| At Florence with Mirandola or walked | C |
| Through the cool olives of the Academe | B |
| Thou should'st have gathered reeds from a green stream | B |
| For Goat foot Pan's shrill piping and have played | D |
| With the white girls in that Phaeacian glade | D |
| Where grave Odysseus wakened from his dream | B |
| - | |
| Ah surely once some urn of Attic clay | E |
| Held thy wan dust and thou hast come again | F |
| Back to this common world so dull and vain | G |
| For thou wert weary of the sunless day | E |
| The heavy fields of scentless asphodel | E |
| The loveless lips with which men kiss in Hell | E |
