What voice is this that wails above the deep ?
Alcyone. A wife's, that mourns her fate and loveless days.
Phoebus. What love lies buried in these waterways ?
Alcyone. A husband's, hurried to eternal sleep.
Phxbus. Cease, O beloved, cease to wail and weep !
Alcyone. Wherefore?
Phoebus. The waters in a fiery blaze Proclaim the godhead of my healing rays.
Alcyone. No god can sow where fate hath stood to reap.
Phoebus. Hold, wringing hands ! cease, piteous tears, to fall.
Alcyone. But grief must ra...in and glut the passionate sea.
Phoebus. Thou shall forget this ocean and thy wrong.
And I will bless the dead, though past recall.
Alcyone. What can'st thou give to me or him in me ?
Phoebus. A name in story and a light in song.
EDMUND W. GOSSE. 87 LXXXVII.
THE TOMB OF SOPHOCLES.
A BOUNDING satyr, golden in the beard, That leaps with goat-feet high into the air, And crushes from the thyme an odour rare, Keeps watch around the marble tomb revered Of Sophocles, the poet loved and feared.
Whose mighty voice once called out of her lair The Dorian muse severe, with braided hair, Who loved the thyrsus and wild dances weird.
