A fresh wind in the latter days of spring,

When hate and war and every evil thing

That the wide arches of high Heaven span

Seems dust, and less to be accounted than

The omened touches of a passing wing:

When Destiny, that calls himself a king,

Goes all forgotten for the song of Pan:

For why? Because the twittering of birds

Is the best music that was ever sung,

Because the voice of trees finds better words
