I	A
Arethusa arose	B
From her couch of snows	B
In the Acroceraunian mountains	C
From cloud and from crag	D
With many a jag	D
Shepherding her bright fountains	C
She leapt down the rocks	E
With her rainbow locks	E
Streaming among the streams	F
Her steps paved with green	G
The downward ravine	G
Which slopes to the western gleams	F
And gliding and springing	D
She went ever singing	D
In murmurs as soft as sleep	H
The Earth seemed to love her	I
And Heaven smiled above her	I
As she lingered towards the deep	H
	-
II	A
Then Alpheus bold	J
On his glacier cold	J
With his trident the mountains strook	D
And opened a chasm	K
In the rocks with the spasm	K
All Erymanthus shook	D
And the black south wind	L
It unsealed behind	L
The urns of the silent snow	M
And earthquake and thunder	I
Did rend in sunder	I
The bars of the springs below	M
And the beard and the hair	N
Of the River god were	I
Seen through the torrent s sweep	H
As he followed the light	O
Of the fleet nymph s flight	O
To the brink of the Dorian deep	H
	-
III	A
'Oh save me Oh guide me	P
And bid the deep hide me	P
For he grasps me now by the hair '	-
The loud Ocean heard	Q
To its blue depth stirred	Q
And divided at her prayer	N
And under the water	I
The Earth s white daughter	I
Fled like a sunny beam	R
Behind her descended	S
Her billows unblended	S
With the brackish Dorian stream	R
Like a gloomy stain	T
On the emerald main	T
Alpheus rushed behind	S
As an eagle pursuing	D
A dove to its ruin	U
Down the streams of the cloudy wind	S
	-
IV	V
Under the bowers	W
Where the Ocean Powers	W
Sit on their pearled thrones	W
Through the coral woods	W
Of the weltering floods	W
Over heaps of unvalued stones	W
Through the dim beams	W
Which amid the streams	W
Weave a network of coloured light	S
And under the caves	W
Where the shadowy waves	W
Are as green as the forest s night	S
Outspeeding the shark	D
And the sword fish dark	D
Under the Ocean s foam	X
And up through the rifts	W
Of the mountain clifts	W
They passed to their Dorian home	X
	-
V	V
And now from their fountains	W
In Enna s mountains	W
Down one vale where the morning basks	W
Like friends once parted	S
Grown single hearted	S
They ply their watery tasks	W
At sunrise they leap	H
From their cradles steep	H
In the cave of the shelving hill	Y
At noontide they flow	M
Through the woods below	M
And the meadows of asphodel	M
And at night they sleep	H
In the rocking deep	H
Beneath the Ortygian shore	Z
Like spirits that lie	M
In the azure sky	M
When they love but live no more	Z
