A thistle's flashing to a woody rise,

A graceful glimmer up the ferny lawn.

IV.

Hear Satyrs and Sylvanus in sad shades

Of dozy dells pipe: Pan and Fauns hark dance

With rattling hoofs dim in low, mottled glades:

Hidden in spice-bush-bowered banks, perchance,

Mark Slyness waiting with an animal glance

The advent of some Innocence, who wades

Thro' thigh-deep flowers, naked as Romance,
