The cuckoo sorrel paints with pink	A
The green page of the meadow land	B
Around a pool where thrushes drink	A
As from a hollowed hand	B
A hill long haired with leathered grass	C
Combed by the strong incessant wind	D
Looks down upon the pool's pale glass	C
Like some old hag gone blind	D
And on a forest grey of beech	E
Reserved mysterious deep and wild	F
That whispers to itself its speech	E
Like some old man's turned child	F
	-
A forest through which something speaks	G
Authoritative things to man	H
A something that o'erawed the Greeks	G
The universal Pan	H
And through the forest falls a stream	I
Babbling of immemorial things	J
The myth that haunts it like a dream	I
The god that in it sings	J
	-
And here it was when I was young	K
Across this meadow sorrel stained	L
To this green place where willows wrung	K
Wild hands and beech trees strained	L
Their mighty strength with winds of spring	M
That clutched and tore the wild witch hair	N
Of yon gaunt hill I heard them sing	M
The hylas hidden there	N
	-
The slant gale played soft fugues of rain	O
With interludes of sun between	P
Where windflowers wove a twinkling chain	O
Through mosses grey and green	P
From every coign of woodland peered	Q
The starry eyes of Loveliness	J
As reticently now she neared	Q
Or stood in shy distress	J
	-
Then I remembered all the past	R
The ancient ships the unknown seas	J
And him like some huge knotted mast	R
My master Herakles	J
Again I saw the port the wood	S
Of Cyzicus the landing there	N
The pool among the reeds and nude	T
The nymphs with long green hair	N
That swarmed to clasp me when I stooped	U
To that grey pool as clear as glass	J
And round my body wrapped and looped	U
Their hair like water grass	J
	-
Hylas the Argonaut the lad	V
Beloved of Herakles was I	W
Again with joy my heart grew sad	V
Dreaming on days gone by	W
Again I felt the drowning pain	O
The kiss that slew me long ago	X
The dripping arms drew down again	Y
And love cried all its woe	X
	-
The new world vanished 'Twas the old	Z
Once more I knew the Mysian shore	A2
The haunted pool the wood the cold	Z
Wild wind from sea and moor	B2
And then a voice went by 'twas his	J
The Demigod's who sought me but	C2
Cold mouths had closed mine with a kiss	J
And both mine eyes were shut	C2
	-
And had the hylas ceased to sing	M
Or what For lo I stood again	Y
Between the hill and wood and Spring	M
Gazed at me through the rain	O
And in her gaze I seemed to see	J
This was a dream she'd dreamed not I	W
A figment of a memory	J
That I had felt go by	W
