[Oh, for the gods of the Greeks]

Oh, for the gods of the Greeks,
The oaks of Dodona!
For the white-bosomed gods of the Greeks!
The gods whom my fancy seeks
'Mid these woods whence is blown a
Murmur of Naiad creeks;—
Here where this old oak speaks,
To my soul, like a god of the Greeks,
An oak of Dodona!
