First Woman

[Strophe I.

How say'st thou? Whither moves thy cry,
Thy bitter cry? Behind our door
We heard thy heavy heart outpour
Its sorrow: and there shivered by
Fear and a quick sob shaken
From prisoned hearts that shall be free no more!

Hecuba

Child, 'tis the ships that stir upon the shore....

Second Woman

The ships, the ships awaken!

Third Woman

Dear God, what would they? Overseas
Bear me afar to strange cities?

Hecuba

Nay, child, I know not. Dreams are these,
Fears of the hope-forsaken.
