Brimming the quiet woods with holiness,

The lone brown birds will hymn her till the dawn,

The delicate, shy, dappled deer will press

Soft pitying muzzles on her swathed lawn.

The little pretty rabbits running by.

Will pause among the dewy grass to peep,

Their thudding hearts affrighted to espy

The maiden Dian lying there asleep.

Brown, lustrous, placid eyes of sylvan things

Will wonder at the quiet in her face,
