CHARON

Punt, punt over the soundless water,

Sigh, sigh, die in the tideless stream.

Tears of vindictive virgins,

The negators and the castrated of the cities of sleep.

Weep, weep over the dull green liquid.

As you drown I gather you up

Who may never murmur along the bank

Or pluck the crisp blunt reeds.

Punt, punt over the soundless water,

Sigh, sigh, die in the tideless stream.

III

ORPHEUS. EURYDICE. THE SHADES.

ORPHEUS

Each corpse stretched wide dry distending hands

And each skull dreamed an elongating song,

And every heart, an hour-glass of filtered sands,

Heard every grain proclaim the right from wrong.
