I remember when a child	A
How within the April wild	A
Once I walked with Mystery	B
In the groves of Arcady	A
Through the boughs before behind	A
Swept the mantle of the wind	A
Thunderous and unconfined	A
	-
Overhead the curving moon	C
Pierced the twilight a cocoon	C
Golden big with unborn wings	D
Beauty shaping spiritual things	D
Vague impatient of the night	A
Eager for its heavenward flight	A
Out of darkness into light	A
	-
Here and there the oaks assumed	A
Satyr aspects shadows gloomed	A
Hiding of a dryad look	E
And the naiad frantic brook	E
Crying fled the solitude	A
Filled with terror of the wood	A
Or some faun thing that pursued	A
	-
In the dead leaves on the ground	A
Crept a movement rose a sound	A
Everywhere the silence ticked	A
As with hands of things that picked	A
At the loam or in the dew	A
Elvish sounds that crept or flew	A
Beak like pushing surely through	A
	-
Down the forest overhead	A
Stammering a dead leaf fled	A
Filled with elemental fear	F
Of some dark destruction near	F
One whose glowworm eyes I saw	G
Hag with flame the crooked haw	G
Which the moon clutched like a claw	G
	-
Gradually beneath the tree	B
Grew a shape a nudity	B
Lithe and slender silent as	H
Growth of tree or blade of grass	I
Brown and silken as the bloom	J
Of the trillium in the gloom	J
Visible as strange perfume	J
	-
For an instant there it stood	A
Smiling on me in the wood	A
And I saw its hair was green	K
As the leaf sheath gold of sheen	K
And its eyes an azure wet	A
From within which seemed to jet	A
Sapphire lights and violet	A
	-
Swiftly by I saw it glide	A
And the dark was deified	A
Wild before it everywhere	L
Gleamed the greenness of its hair	L
And around it danced a light	A
Soft the sapphire of its sight	A
Making witchcraft of the night	A
	-
On the branch above the bird	A
Trilled to it a dreamy word	A
In its bud the wild bee droned	A
Honeyed greeting drowsy toned	A
And the brook forgot the gloom	J
Hushed its heart and wrapped in bloom	J
Breathed a welcome of perfume	J
	-
To its beauty bush and tree	B
Stretched sweet arms of ecstasy	B
And the soul within the rock	M
Lichen treasures did unlock	M
As upon it fell its eye	N
And the earth that felt it nigh	N
Into wildflowers seemed to sigh	N
	-
Was it dryad was it faun	K
Wandered from the times long gone	K
Was it sylvan was it fay	O
Dim survivor of the day	O
When Religion peopled streams	P
Woods and rocks with shapes like gleams	P
That invaded then my dreams	P
	-
Was it shadow was it shape	Q
Or but fancy's wild escape	Q
Of my own child's world the charm	R
That assumed material form	S
Of my soul the mystery	B
That the spring revealed to me	B
There in long lost Arcady	O
