To an Aeolian Harp¹

The winds have grown articulate in thee, And voiced again the wail² of ancient woe³ That smote⁴ upon the winds of long ago： The cries of Trojan women as they flee, The quivering moan of pale Andromache, Now lifted loud with pain and now brought low. It is the soul of sorrow that we know, As in a shell the soul of all the sea. So sometimes in the compass of a song, Unknown to him who sings, thro' lips that live, The voiceless dead of long-forgotten lands Proclaim to us their heaviness and wrong In sweeping⁵ sadness of the winds that give Thy strings⁶ no rest from weariless wild hands.
