Green watery jets of light let throughB
The rippling foliage drenched with dewB
Bland glow worm glamours warm and dimC
Above the mystic vistas swimC
Where 'round the fountain's oozy urnD
The limp loose fronds of limber fernD
Wave dusky tresses thin and wetE
Blue filleted with violetF
O'er roots that writhe in snaky knotsG
The moss in amber cushions clotsG
From wattled walls of brier and brushH
The elder's misty attars gushH
And Argus eyed by knoll and bankI
The affluent wild rose flowers rankI
And stol'n in shadowy retreatsJ
In black rich soil your vision greetsJ
The colder undergrowths of woodsK
Damp lushy leaved whose gloomier moodsL
Turn all the life beneath to deathM
And rottenness for their own breathM
May apples waxen stemmed and largeN
With their bloom screening breadths of targeN
Wake robins dark green leaved their stemsO
Tipped with green oval clumps of gemsO
As if some woodland Bacchus thereP
A braiding of his yellow hairP
With ivy tod had idly tostF
His thyrsus there and so had lostF
Low blood root with its pallid bloomQ
The red life of its mother's wombQ
Through all its ardent pulses fineR
Beating in scarlet veins of wineR
And where the knotty eyes of treesS
Stare wide like Fauns' at DryadesS
That lave smooth limbs in founts of sparT
Shines many a wild flower's tender starT

The scummy pond sleeps lazilyU
Clad thick with lilies and the beeU
Reels boisterous as a BassaridF
Above the bloated green frog hidF
In lush wan calamus and grassS
Beside the water's stagnant glassS
The piebald dragon fly like oneV
A weary of the world and sunV
Comes blindly blundering alongW
A pedagogue gaunt lean and longW
Large headed naturalist with wiseS
Great glaring goggles on his eyesS
And dry and hot the fragrant mintF
Pours grateful odors without stintF
From cool clay banks of cressy streamsS
Rare as the musks of rich hareemsS
And hot as some sultana's breathM
With turbulent passions or with deathM
A haze of floating saffron soundF
Of shy crisp creepings o'er the groundF
The dip and stir of twig and leafX
Tempestuous gusts of spices briefX
From elder bosks and sassafrasS
Wind cuffs that dodge the laughing grassS
Sharp sudden songs and whisperingsS
That hint at untold hidden thingsS
Pan and Sylvanus that of oldF
Kept sacred each wild wood and woldF
A wily light beneath the treesS
Quivers and dusks with ev'ry breezeS
Mayhap some Hamadryad whoB
Culling her morning meal of dewB
From frail accustomed cups of flowersS
Some Satyr watching through the bowersS
Had when his goat hoof snapped and pressedF
A brittle branch shrunk back distressedF
Startled her wild tumultuous hairP
Bathing her limbs one instant thereP
