The tall nymph draws a golden bow of might,

And thick she rains the gentle shafts that slay;

She tosses loose her locks upon the night,

And through the dim wood Dian thrids her way.

ENVOI

Prince, let us leave the din, the dust, the spite,

The gloom and glare of towns, the plague, the blight;

Amid the forest leaves and fountain spray

There is the mystic home of our delight,

And through the dim wood Dian thrids her way.
