'A
Succinctae sacra DianaeB
' OVIDC
-
There the ragged sunlight layD
Tawny on thick ferns and grayD
On dark waters dimmerE
Lone and deep the cypress groveF
Bowered mystery and woveF
Braided lights like those that loveG
On the pearl plumes of a doveG
Faint to gleam and glimmerE
-
II-
-
There centennial pine and oakH
Into stormy cadence brokeH
Hollow rocks gloomed slantingI
Echoing in dim arcadeC
Looming with long moss that madeC
Twilight streaks in tatters laidC
Where the wild hart hunt affrayedC
Plunged the water pantingI
-
III-
-
Poppies of a sleepy goldC
Mooned the gray green darkness rolledC
Down its vistas makingI
Wisp like blurs of flame And paleJ
Stole the dim deer down the valeJ
And the haunting nightingaleJ
Throbbed unseen the olden taleJ
All its wild heart breakingI
-
IVG
-
There the hazy serpoletC
Dewy cistus blooming wetC
Blushed on bank and bowlderE
There the cyclamen as wanB
As first footsteps of the dawnB
Carpeted the spotted lawnB
Where the nude nymph dripping drawnB
Basked a wildflower shoulderE
-
VG
-
In the citrine shadows thereE
What tall presences and fairE
Godlike stood or graciousK
As the rock rose there that grewE
Delicate and dim as dewE
Stepped from boles of oaks and drewE
Faunlike forms to follow whoE
Filled the forest spaciousK
-
VIG
-
Guarding that BoeotianB
Valley so no foot of manB
Soiled its silence holyG
With profaning tread save oneB
The Hyantian ActaeonB
Who beheld and might not shunB
Pale Diana's wrath undoneB
By his own mad follyG
-
VIIG
-
Lost it lies that valley sleepsL
In serene enchantment keepsL
Beautiful its banishedC
Bowers that no man may seeG
Fountains that her deityG
Haunts and every rock and treeG
Where her hunt goes swinging freeG
As in ages vanishedC
