Excerpt from Alcestis: And Other Poems

When the scene opens, the entrance to the master's chamber is covered by a curtain. The chorus of men and women enter through the corridor, singing and dancing in honor of Apollo.

Pean Strophe I. Hail, O Apollo, that guidest the sun with the coursers of light!

Hast thou forsaken thine ancient home, and the hills and the halls once beloved?

Sending with dreadful falling of shafts upon us dark death, the night, Say, hath thy beauty and blessing so far and forever removed?
