' OVID | C |

There the ragged sunlight lay | D |
Tawny on thick ferns and gray | D |
On dark waters dimmer | E |
Lone and deep the cypress grove | F |
Bowered mystery and wove | F |
Braided lights like those that love | G |
On the pearl plumes of a dove | G |
Faint to gleam and glimmer | E |
- | |
II | - |
- | |
There centennial pine and oak | H |
Into stormy cadence broke | H |
Hollow rocks gloomed slanting | I |
Echoing in dim arcade | C |
Looming with long moss that made | C |
Twilight streaks in tatters laid | C |
Where the wild hart hunt affrayed | C |
Plunged the water panting | I |
- | |
III | - |
- | |
Poppies of a sleepy gold | C |
Mooned the gray green darkness rolled | C |
Down its vistas making | I |
Wisp like blurs of flame And pale | J |
Stole the dim deer down the vale | J |
And the haunting nightingale | J |
Throbbed unseen the olden tale | J |
All its wild heart breaking | I |

IV | G |
- | |
There the hazy serpolet | C |
Dewy cistus blooming wet | C |
Blushed on bank and bowlder | E |
There the cyclamen as wan | B |
As first footsteps of the dawn | B |
Carpeted the spotted lawn | B |
Where the nude nymph dripping drawn | B |
Basked a wildflower shoulder | E |
- | |
V | G |
- | |
In the citrine shadows there | E |
What tall presences and fair | E |
Godlike stood or gracious | K |
As the rock rose there that grew | E |
Delicate and dim as dew | E |
Stepped from boles of oaks and drew | E |
Faunlike forms to follow who | E |
Filled the forest spacious | K |
- | |
VI | G |
- | |
Guarding that Boeotian | B |
Valley so no foot of man | B |
Soiled its silence holy | G |
With profaning tread save one | B |
The Hyantian Actaeon | B |
Who beheld and might not shun | B |
Pale Diana's wrath undone | B |
By his own mad folly | G |
- | |
VII | G |
- | |
Lost it lies that valley sleeps | L |
In serene enchantment keeps | L |
Beautiful its banished | C |
Bowers that no man may see | G |
Fountains that her deity | G |
Haunts and every rock and tree | G |
Where her hunt goes swinging free | G |
As in ages vanished | C |
