1901-1918
1920
They told me Pan was dead, but I Oft marvelled who it was that sang Down the green valleys languidly Where the grey elder-thickets hang.
Sometimes I thought it was a bird My soul had charged with sorcery; Sometimes it seemed my own heart heard Inland the sorrow of the sea.
But even where the primrose sets The seal of her pale loveliness, I found amid the violets Tears of an antique bitterness.
What voice is that I hear Crying across the pool? It is the voice of Pan you hear, Crying his sorceries shrill and clear, In the twilight dim and cool.
What song is it he sings, Echoing from afar; While the sweet swallow bends her wings, Filling the air with twitterings, Beneath the brightening star?
