I	A
	-
Where the quiet coloured end of evening smiles	B
Miles and miles	B
On the solitary pastures where our sheep	C
Half asleep	C
Tinkle homeward thro' the twilight stray or stop	D
As they crop	D
Was the site once of a city great and gay	E
So they say	E
Of our country's very capital its prince	F
Ages since	F
Held his court in gathered councils wielding far	G
Peace or war	H
	-
II	A
	-
Now the country does not even boast a tree	I
As you see	I
To distinguish slopes of verdure certain rills	I
From the hills	I
Intersect and give a name to else they run	J
Into one	J
Where the domed and daring palace shot its spires	I
Up like fires	I
O'er the hundred gated circuit of a wall	K
Bounding all	K
Made of marble men might march on nor be prest	L
Twelve abreast	L
	-
III	A
	-
And such plenty and perfection see of grass	I
Never was	I
Such a carpet as this summer time o'erspreads	I
And embeds	I
Every vestige of the city guessed alone	M
Stock or stone	M
Where a multitude of men breathed joy and woe	N
Long ago	N
Lust of glory pricked their hearts up dread of shame	O
Struck them tame	O
And that glory and that shame alike the gold	P
Bought and sold	P
	-
IV	-
	-
Now the single little turret that remains	I
On the plains	I
By the caper overrooted by the gourd	Q
Overscored	Q
While the patching houseleek's head of blossom winks	I
Through the chinks	I
Marks the basement whence a tower in ancient time	R
Sprang sublime	R
And a burning ring all round the chariots traced	Q
As they raced	Q
And the monarch and his minions and his dames	I
Viewed the games	I
	-
V	-
	-
And I know while thus the quiet coloured eve	-
Smiles to leave	-
To their folding all our many tinkling fleece	I
In such peace	I
And the slopes and rills in undistinguished grey	E
Melt away	E
That a girl with eager eyes and yellow hair	S
Waits me there	S
In the turret whence the charioteers caught soul	T
For the goal	T
When the king looked where she looks now breathless dumb	U
Till I come	U
	-
VI	-
	-
But he looked upon the city every side	Q
Far and wide	Q
All the mountains topped with temples all the glades'	I
Colonnades	I
All the causeys bridges aqueducts and then	V
All the men	V
When I do come she will speak not she will stand	Q
Either hand	Q
On my shoulder give her eyes the first embrace	I
Of my face	I
Ere we rush ere we extinguish sight and speech	W
Each on each	W
	-
VII	-
	-
In one year they sent a million fighters forth	X
South and north	X
And they built their gods a brazen pillar high	-
As the sky	-
Yet reserved a thousand chariots in full force	I
Gold of course	I
Oh heart oh blood that freezes blood that burns	I
Earth's returns	I
For whole centuries of folly noise and sin	Y
Shut them in	Y
With their triumphs and their glories and the rest	Q
Love is best	Q
