ENCHANTMENT
He is pure symbol as the Sangraël;
He lets no lure of sense the soul oppress
He gives the freedom of his loneliness
For a few footsteps, if we feel his spell.
He lets no lure of sense the soul oppress
He gives the freedom of his loneliness
For a few footsteps, if we feel his spell.
With tufts of seedling beech leaves in his hand,
Arcadia rushes up in leafy streams:
All that Pan suffers, muffled in his dreams
'Mid wanton Naiades, we understand.
Arcadia rushes up in leafy streams:
All that Pan suffers, muffled in his dreams
'Mid wanton Naiades, we understand.
He leads us to the desert and its drought;
And the white sapphire at his gift becomes
Strong fountain water stinging to the mouth.
And the white sapphire at his gift becomes
Strong fountain water stinging to the mouth.
And some have watched him when, a god, he plumbs
The void, and tranquilly from troubled eyes
As from sealed vials offers sacrifice.
The void, and tranquilly from troubled eyes
As from sealed vials offers sacrifice.
