And stretched inviting arms; the aspens wooed

With myriad beckoning leaves, and each slant beam,

Flung from the flying sun-god’s hand, did seem

A rosy finger-tip that coyly pointed

To some deep trysting-place by wood-nymphs haunted.

Long vistas led away mysteriously,

So tempting that I almost thought to see

Arch faces from the nearer branches peeping,

And clumsy satyrs in the distance leaping.

The nymph, the satyr, and the bounding fawn
