THE LAST FAUN

BY HELEN MINTURN SEYMOUR

WITH PICTURE BY CHARLES A. WINTER

BY mead and wood I called them all day through,

All day I hunted them from dale to dale,

From height to height, each rift we ever knew,

At hide-and-seek, and still no answering hail.

Ah, could they be so cruel in their play

To make me lose the first delicious day

Since spring came up the vale?
