But the shapes of men that pass
Are as ghosts within a glass,
Woven with whiteness of the swan,
Pale, sad memories, wan
From the garment's purple fold
Where Troy's tale is twined and told.

Are as ghosts within a glass,
Woven with whiteness of the swan,
Pale, sad memories, wan
From the garment's purple fold
Where Troy's tale is twined and told.
