Lost in reflections of Earth's loveliness,

Did I, just now, unconsciously disturb?

I who haphazard, wandering at a guess,

Came on this spot, wherein with gold and flame

Of buds and blooms the Season writes its name.—

Ah, me! could I have seen him ere alarm

Of my approach aroused him from his calm!

As he, part Hamadryad and, mayhap,

Part Faun, lay here; who left the shadow warm

As a wood-rose, and filled the air with balm
