Beneath an old beech treeA
They sat togetherB
Fair as a flower was sheA
Of summer weatherB
They spoke of life and loveC
While through the boughs aboveC
The sunlight like a doveC
Dropped many a featherB
-

-
And there the violetE
The bluet near itE
Made blurs of azure wetF
As if some spiritG
Or woodland dream had goneH
Sprinkling the earth with dawnH
When only Fay and FaunH
Could see or hear itE
-
IIID
-
She with her young sweet faceI
And eyes gray beamingJ
Made of that forest placeI
A spot for dreamingJ
A spot for OreadsI
To smooth their nut brown braidsI
For Dryads of the gladesI
To dance in gleamingJ

-
So dim the place so blestK
One had not wonderedL
Had Dian's moon d breastK
The deep leaves sunderedK
And there on them awhileM
The goddess deigned to smileM
While down some forest aisleM
The far hunt thunderedK
-
VC
-
I deem that hour perchanceI
Was but a mirrorB
To show them Earth's romanceI
And draw them nearerB
A mirror where meseemsI
All that this Earth life dreamsI
All loveliness that gleamsI
Their souls saw clearerB
-
VIC
-
Beneath an old beech treeC
They dreamed of blissesI
Fair as a flower was sheC
That summer kissesI
They spoke of dreams and daysI
Of love that goes and staysI
Of all for which life praysI
Ah me and missesI
