'NEATH the shadow	A
	-
Of these bushes	B
On the meadow	A
	-
Where the cooling water gushes	C
Phoebus gave me when a boy	D
All life's fullness to enjoy	D
So in silence as the God	E
Bade them with his sov'reign nod	E
Sacred Muses train'd my days	F
To his praise	F
With the bright and silv'ry flood	G
Of Parnassus stirr'd my blood	G
And the seal so pure and chaste	H
By them on my lips was placed	H
	-
With her modest pinions see	I
Philomel encircles me	I
In these bushes in yon grove	J
	-
Calls she to her sister throng	K
	-
And their heavenly choral song	K
Teaches me to dream of love	L
	-
Fullness waxes in my breast	M
Of emotions social blest	M
Friendship's nurtured love awakes	I
And the silence Phoebus breaks	I
Of his mountains of his vales	I
Sweetly blow the balmy gales	I
All for whom he shows affection	N
Who are worthy his protection	N
Gladly follow his direction	N
	-
This one comes with joyous bearing	O
	-
And with open radiant gaze	I
That a sterner look is wearing	O
This one scarcely cured with daring	O
	-
Wakes the strength of former days	I
For the sweet destructive flame	P
Pierced his marrow and his frame	P
That which Amor stole before	Q
Phoebus only can restore	Q
Peace and joy and harmony	I
Aspirations pure and free	I
	-
Brethren rise ye	I
Numbers prize ye	I
Deeds of worth resemble they	R
	-
Who can better than the bard	S
Guide a friend when gone astray	R
	-
If his duty he regard	S
More he'll do than others may	R
	-
Yes afar I hear them sing	O
Yes I hear them touch the string	O
And with mighty godlike stroke	T
	-
Right and duty they inspire	U
And evoke	T
	-
As they sing and wake the lyre	U
Tendencies of noblest worth	V
To each type of strength give birth	V
	-
Phantasies of sweetest power	W
Flower	W
Round about on ev'ry bough	X
Bending now	X
Like the magic wood of old	Y
'Neath the fruit that gleams like gold	Y
	-
What we feel and what we view	Z
	-
In the land of highest bliss	I
	-
This dear soil a sun like this	I
Lures the best of women too	Z
And the Muses' breathings blest	M
Rouse the maiden's gentle breast	M
Tune the throat to minstrelsy	I
And with cheeks of beauteous dye	A2
Bid it sing a worthy song	K
Sit the sister band among	B2
And their strains grow softer still	C2
As they vie with earnest will	C2
	-
One amongst the band betimes	I
	-
Goes to wander	W
By the beeches 'neath the limes	I
	-
Yonder seeking finding yonder	W
That which in the morning grove	J
She had lost through roguish Love	L
All her breast's first aspirations	I
And her heart's calm meditations	I
To the shady wood so fair	D2
	-
Gently stealing	O
Takes she that which man can ne'er	D2
	-
Duly merit each soft feeling	O
Disregards the noontide ray	R
And the dew at close of day	R
	-
In the plain her path she loses	I
Ne'er disturb her on her way	R
	-
Seek her silently ye Muses	I
	-
Shouts I hear wherein the sound	E2
Of the waterfall is drown'd	E2
From the grove loud clamours rise	I
Strange the tumult strange the cries	I
See I rightly Can it be	I
To the very sanctuary	I
Lo an impious troop in hies	I
	-
O'er the land	F2
Streams the band	F2
Hot desire	W
Drunken fire	W
In their gaze	I
Wildly plays	I
Makes their hair	D2
Bristle there	D2
And the troop	G2
With fell swoop	G2
Women men	H2
Coming then	H2
Ply their blows	I
And expose	I
Void of shame	P
All the frame	P
Iron shot	I2
Fierce and hot	I2
Strike with fear	J2
On the ear	K2
All they slay	R
On their way	R
O'er the land	F2
Pours the band	F2
All take flight	L2
At their sight	L2
	-
Ah o'er ev'ry plant they rush	M2
Ah their cruel footsteps crush	M2
All the flowers that fill their path	N2
Who will dare to stem their wrath	N2
	-
Brethren let us venture all	O2
	-
Virtue in your pure cheek glows	I
Phoebus will attend our call	O2
	-
When he sees our heavy woes	I
And that we may have aright	L2
Weapons suited to the fight	L2
He the mountain shaketh now	X
From its brow	X
Rattling down	P2
Stone on stone	Q2
Through the thicket spread appear	J2
Brethren seize them Wherefore fear	J2
Now the villain crew assail	R2
As though with a storm of hail	R2
And expel the strangers wild	L2
From these regions soft and mild	L2
Where the sun has ever smil'd	L2
	-
What strange wonder do I see	I
Can it be	I
All my limbs of power are reft	L2
And all strength my hand has left	L2
Can it he	I
None are strangers that I see	I
And our brethren 'tis who go	A
On before the way to show	A
Oh the reckless impious ones	I
How they with their jarring tones	I
Beat the time as on they hie	I
Quick my brethren let us fly	A2
	-
To the rash ones yet a word	L2
Ay my voice shall now be heard	L2
As a peal of thunder strong	K
	-
Words as poets' arms were made	L2
	-
When the god will he obey'd	L2
Follow fast his darts ere long	K
	-
Was it possible that ye	I
Thus your godlike dignity	I
Should forget The Thyrsus rude	L2
	-
Must a heavy burden feel	S2
	-
To the hand but wont to steal	S2
O'er the lyre in gentle mood	L2
From the sparkling waterfalls	I
From the brook that purling calls	I
Shall Silenus' loathsome beast	L2
Be allow'd at will to feast	L2
Aganippe's wave he sips	I
With profane and spreading lips	I
With ungainly feet stamps madly	I
Till the waters flow on sadly	I
	-
Fain I'd think myself deluded	L2
	-
In the sadd'ning sounds I hear	K2
From the holy glades secluded	L2
	-
Hateful tones assail the ear	K2
Laughter wild exchange how mournful	T2
	-
Takes the place of love's sweet dream	U2
Women haters and the scornful	T2
	-
In exulting chorus scream	U2
Nightingale and turtle dove	L
	-
Fly their nests so warm and chaste	L2
And inflamed with sensual love	L
	-
Holds the Faun the Nymph embrac'd	L2
Here a garment's torn away	R
	-
Scoffs succeed their sated bliss	I
While the god with angry ray	R
	-
Looks upon each impious kiss	I
	-
Vapour smoke as from a fire	W
	-
And advancing clouds I view	Z
Chords not only grace the lyre	U
	-
For the bow its chords bath too	Z
Even the adorer's heart	L2
	-
Dreads the wild advancing hand	L2
For the flames that round them dart	L2
	-
Show the fierce destroyer's hand	L2
	-
Oh neglect not what I say	R
	-
For I speak it lovingly	I
From our boundaries haste away	R
	-
From the god's dread anger fly	A2
Cleanse once more the holy place	I
	-
Turn the savage train aside	L2
Earth contains upon its face	I
	-
Many a spot unsanctified	L2
Here we only prize the good	L2
	-
Stars unsullied round us burn	V2
	-
If ye in repentant mood	L2
	-
From your wanderings would return	V2
If ye fail to find the bliss	I
	-
That ye found with us of yore	Q
Or when lawless mirth like this	I
	-
Gives your hearts delight no more	Q
Then return in pilgrim guise	I
	-
Gladly up the mountain go	A
While your strains repentant rise	I
	-
And our brethren's advent show	A
	-
Let a new born wreath entwine	W2
	-
Solemnly your temples round	L2
Rapture glows in hearts divine	W2
	-
When a long lost sinner's found	L2
Swifter e'en than Lathe's flood	L2
	-
Round Death's silent house can play	R
Ev'ry error of the good	L2
	-
Will love's chalice wash away	R
All will haste your steps to meet	L2
	-
As ye come in majesty	L2
Men your blessing will entreat	L2
	-
Ours ye thus will doubly be	L2
