On the holy mount of Ida	A
Where the pine and cypress grow	B
Sate a young and lovely woman	C
Weeping ever weeping low	B
Drearily throughout the forest	D
Did the winds of autumn blow	B
And the clouds above were flying	E
And Scamander rolled below	B
	-
'Faithless Paris cruel Paris '	-
Thus the poor deserted spake	F
'Wherefore thus so strangely leave me	G
Why thy loving bride forsake	F
Why no tender word at parting	E
Why no kiss no farewell take	F
Would that I could but forget thee	G
Would this throbbing heart might break	F
	-
'Is my face no longer blooming	E
Are my eyes no longer bright	H
Ah my tears have made them dimmer	I
And my cheeks are pale and white	H
I have wept since early morning	E
I will weep the livelong night	H
Now I long for sullen darkness	J
As I once have longed for light	H
	-
'Paris canst thou then be cruel	K
Fair and young and brave thou art	L
Can it be that in thy bosom	M
Lies so cold so hard a heart	L
Children were we bred together	I
She who bore me suckled thee	G
I have been thine old companion	C
When thou hadst no more but me	G
	-
'I have watched thee in thy slumbers	J
When the shadow of a dream	N
Passed across thy smiling features	J
Like the ripple of a stream	N
And so sweetly were the visions	J
Pictured there with lively grace	J
That I half could read their import	O
By the changes on thy face	J
	-
'When I sang of Ariadne	G
Sang the old and mournful tale	P
How her faithless lover Theseus	J
Left her to lament and wail	P
Then thine eyes would fill and glisten	C
Her complaint could soften thee	G
Thou hast wept for Ariadne	G
Theseus' self might weep for me	G
	-
'Thou may'st find another maiden	C
With a fairer face than mine	Q
With a gayer voice and sweeter	I
And a spirit liker thine	Q
For if e'er my beauty bound thee	G
Lost and broken is the spell	R
But thou canst not find another	I
That will love thee half so well	R
	-
'O thou hollow ship that bearest	O
Paris o'er the faithless deep	S
Wouldst thou leave him on some island	O
Where alone the waters weep	S
Where no human foot is moulded	O
In the wet and yellow sand	O
Leave him there thou hollow vessel	K
Leave him on that lonely land	O
	-
'Then his heart will surely soften	C
When his foolish hopes decay	T
And his older love rekindle	K
As the new one dies away	T
Visionary hills will haunt him	U
Rising from the glassy sea	G
And his thoughts will wander homewards	G
Unto Ida and to me	G
	-
'O that like a little swallow	B
I could reach that lonely spot	O
All his errors would be pardoned	O
All the weary past forgot	O
Never should he wander from me	G
Never should he more depart	O
For these arms would be his prison	C
And his home would be my heart '	-
	-
Thus lamented fair Oenone	C
Weeping ever weeping low	B
On the holy mount of Ida	O
Where the pine and cypress grow	B
In the self same hour Cassandra	O
Shrieked her prophecy of woe	B
And into the Spartan dwelling	E
Did the faithless Paris go	B
