Half the catalogue of ships is mine | B |
that flight of cranes long stretched out line | B |
that once rose out of Hellas | A |

To an alien land like a phalanx of cranes | A |
Foam of the gods on the heads of kings | A |
Where do you sail What would the things | A |
of Troy be to you Achaeans without Helen | C |

The sea or Homer all moves by love s glow | D |
Which should I hear Now Homer is silent | E |
and the Black Sea thundering its oratory turbulent | E |
and surging roars against my pillow | D |
