Wake, melancholy Mother, wake and weep!
Wake, melancholy Mother, wake and weep!
Her mother was one of the Atlantides.
Wake thou," cried Misery, "childless Mother, rise
Out of thy sleep, and slake, in thy heart's core,
A wound more fierce than his, with tears and sighs.
Where wert thou, mighty Mother, when he lay,
When thy Son lay, pierced by the shaft which flies
In darkness?
