As they would keep it in their memory

Forever, and the very while they gaze

I see the flame of Troy gleam in their eyes.

I think sometimes I have already passed

Into the kingdom of untroubled death,

And wandering lonely amongst them I knew

In Hellas or that land beyond the seas,

Behold each shadow as it passes by

Shrink half involuntarily, and turn,

And veil its face and vanish in the gloom.
