'Neath saffron stars and satin skies dark blue	A
Between dim sylvan isles a happy two	A
We sailed and from the siren haunted shore	B
All mystic in its mist the soft gale bore	B
The Siren's song while on the ghostly steeps	C
Strange foliage grew deeps folding upon deeps	C
That hung and beamed with blossom and with bud	D
Thick powdered pallid or like urns of blood	D
Dripping and blowing from wide mouths of blooms	C
On our bare brows cool gales of sweet perfumes	C
While from the yellow stars that splashed the skies	C
O'er our light shallop dropped soft mysteries	C
Of calm and sleep until the yellower moon	E
Rose full of fire above a dark lagoon	E
And as she rose the nightingales on sprays	C
Of heavy shadowy roses burst in praise	C
Of her wild loveliness with boisterous pain	F
Wailing far off around a ruined fane	F
And 'round our lazy keel that dipped to swing	G
The spirits of the foam came whispering	G
And from dank Neptune's coral columned caves	C
Heard the Oceanids rise thro' the waves	C
Saw their smooth limbs cold glimmering in the spray	H
Tumultuous bosoms panting with their play	H
Their oozy tresses tossed unto the breeze	C
Flash sea green brightness o'er the tumbled seas	C
'Mid columned isles glance vaguely thro' the trees	C
We watched the Satyrs chase the Dryades	C
Heard Pan's fierce trebles and the Triton's horn	I
Sound from the rock lashed foam when rose the Morn	I
With chilly fingers dewing all the skies	C
That blushed for love and closed their starry eyes	C
The Naiad saw sweet smiling in white mist	J
Half hidden in a bay of amethyst	J
Her polished limbs and at her hollow ear	K
A shell's pink labyrinth held up to hear	K
Dim echoes of the Siren's haunting strains	C
Emprisoned in its chords of crimson veins	C
And stealing wily from a grove of pines	C
The Oread in cincture of green vines	C
One twinkling foot half buried in the red	L
Of a deep dimpled crumpled poppy bed	L
Like to the star of eve when lapsing low	M
Faint clouds that with the sunset colors glow	M
Slip down in scarlet o'er its crystal white	N
It shining tear like partly veils its light	N
Her wine red lips half parted in surprise	C
And expectation in her bright blue eyes	C
While slyly from a young oak coppice peers	C
The wanton Faun with furry pointed ears	C
He leaps she flies as flies the startled nymph	O
When Pan pursues her from her wonted lymph	O
Diana sees and on her wooded hills	C
Stays her fair band the stag hounds' clamor stills	C
Already nearer glow the Oread's charms	C
To seize them Faunus strains his hairy arms	C
A senseless statue of white weeping stone	P
Fills his embrace the Oread is gone	Q
The stag hounds bay Dian resumes the chase	C
While the astonished Faun's bewildered face	C
Paints all his wonderment and wondering	G
He bends above the sculpture of the spring	G
	-
We sailed and many a morn of breathing balm	R
Purpureal graced us in that season calm	R
And it was life to thee and me and love	S
With the fair myths below our God above	S
To sail in golden sunsets and emerge	T
In golden morns upon a fretless surge	T
But ah alas the stars that dot the blue	A
Shine not alway the clouds must gather too	A
I knew not how it came but in a while	U
Myself I found cast on an arid isle	U
Alone and barkless soaked and wan with dread	L
The seas in wrath and thunder overhead	L
Deep down in coral caverns my pale love	S
No myths below no God it seemed above	S
