Andrew Lang - Homeric Unity lyrics

The sacred keep of Ilion is rent With shaft and pit; vague waters wander slow Through plains where Simois and Scamander went To war with gods and heroes long ago: Not yet to dark Ca**andra, lying low In rich Mycenæ, do the Fates relent; The bones of Agamemnon are a show, And ruined is his royal monument. The awful dust and treasures of the Dead Has Learning scattered wide; but vainly thee, Homer, she measures with her Lesbian lead, And strives to rend thy songs: too blind is she To know the crown on thine immortal head Of indivisible supremacy.
