Within my garden's silence and seclusion	A
In pensive beauty gazing toward the dawn	B
There stands mid vines and flowers in profusion	A
A sculptured Faun	A
	-
The boughs of stately trees are bending o'er him	C
The scent of calycanthus fills the air	D
And on the ivied parapet before him	C
Bloom roses fair	D
	-
Beside him laughs the lightly flowing fountain	A
Beneath him spreads the lake's enchanting hue	E
And opposite a sun illumined mountain	A
Meets heaven's blue	E
	-
Across Lake Como's silvered undulation	A
The flush of dawn creeps shyly to his face	F
And crowns his look of dreamful contemplation	A
With tender grace	F
	-
And he like Memnon thrilled to exultation	A
As if unable longer to be mute	G
Has lifted to his lips in adoration	A
His simple flute	G
	-
Ah would that I might hear the music stealing	H
From yonder artless reed upon the air	D
The subtle revelation of his feeling	H
While standing there	D
	-
Perhaps 'tis for the Past that he is sighing	H
When Como's shore held many a hallowed shrine	A
Where such as he were worshipped none denying	H
Their rights divine	A
	-
That Past is gone its sylvan shrines have crumbled	I
From lake and grove the gentle fauns have fled	J
Its myths are scorned Olympus has been humbled	I
And Pan is dead	J
	-
Yet still he plays the coming day adoring	H
With brow serene and gladness in his gaze	K
All past and future happiness ignoring	H
Just for to day's	K
	-
Sweet Faun whence comes thy power of retaining	H
Through storm and sunshine thine unchanging smile	L
Forsaken thus what comfort still remaining	H
Makes life worth while	L
	-
Impart to me the secret of discerning	H
The gold of life with none of its alloy	M
That I may also satisfy my yearning	H
For perfect joy	M
	-
I too would shun those questions born of sorrow	N
Life's Wherefore Whence and Whither I would fill	O
My cup with present bliss and let to morrow	N
Bring what it will	O
	-
O Spirit of the vanished world elysian	A
Cast over me the spell of thy control	P
And give me for to day's supernal vision	A
Thy Pagan soul	P
