I	A
	-
There is a cloud before the sun	B
The wind is hushed and still	C
And silently the waters run	B
Beneath the sombre hill	C
The sky is dark in every place	D
As is the earth below	E
Methinks it wore the self same face	D
Two thousand years ago	E
	-
	-
II	A
	-
No light is on the ancient wall	F
No light upon the mound	G
The very trees so thick and tall	F
Cast gloom not shade around	G
So silent is the place and cold	H
So far from human ken	I
It hath a look that makes me old	H
And spectres time again	I
	-
	-
III	A
	-
I listen half in thought to hear	J
The Roman trumpet blow	E
I search for glint of helm and spear	K
Amidst the forest bough	L
And armour rings and voices swell	M
I hear the legion's tramp	N
And mark the lonely sentinel	O
Who guards the lonely camp	N
	-
	-
IV	P
	-
Methinks I have no other home	Q
No other hearth to find	R
For nothing save the thought of Rome	Q
Is stirring in my mind	R
And all that I have heard or dreamed	S
And all I had forgot	T
Are rising up as though they seemed	S
The household of the spot	T
	-
	-
V	P
	-
And all the names that Romans knew	U
Seem just as known to me	P
As if I were a Roman too	U
A Roman born and free	P
And I could rise at C sar's name	V
As though it were a charm	W
To draw sharp lightning from the tame	V
And brace the coward's arm	W
	-
	-
VI	P
	-
And yet if yonder sky were blue	U
And earth were sunny gay	X
If nature wore the summer hue	U
That decked her yesterday	X
The mound the trench the rampart's space	D
Would move me nothing more	Y
Than many a sweet sequestred place	D
That I have marked before	Y
	-
	-
VII	P
	-
I could not feel the breezes bring	Z
Rich odours from the trees	A2
I could not hear the linnets sing	Z
And think on themes like these	A2
The painted insects as they pass	B2
In swift and motley strife	P
The very lizard in the grass	B2
Would scare me back to life	P
	-
	-
VIII	P
	-
Then is the past so gloomy now	L
That it may never bear	C2
The open smile of nature's brow	L
Or meet the sunny air	C2
I know not that but joy is power	D2
However short it last	E2
And joy befits the present hour	D2
If sadness fits the past	E2
