Sylvan they say and nymph are gone	A
And yet I saw the two last night	B
When overhead the moon sailed white	B
And through the mists her light made wan	C
Each bush and tree doffed its disguise	D
And stood revealed to mortal eyes	D
	-
The hollow rimmed with rocks and trees	E
And massed with ferns and matted vines	F
Seemed an arena mid the pines	F
A theatre of mysteries	E
Where oread and satyr met	G
And all the myths that men forget	G
	-
The rain and frost had carved the rocks	H
With faces that were wild and strange	I
Which Protean fancy seemed to change	I
Each moment in the granite blocks	H
That seemed slow dreaming into form	J
The gods grotesque of wind and storm	J
	-
Then suddenly Diana stood	K
Slim as a shaft of moonlight there	L
Immortalizing earth and air	L
With perfect beauty through the wood	K
Her maidens went as brightness goes	M
Athwart a cloud at evening's close	N
	-
And then I saw a faun push through	O
The thorny berry at his lip	P
Twinkled a pipe that seemed to drip	P
Dim sounds of crickets and of dew	O
Things that in strange reality	Q
Seemed born of his frail melody	Q
	-
And then I saw the naiad rise	D
From out her rock a form of spar	R
In which her heart shone like a star	R
And like the moon her hair and eyes	D
She smiled and at each smile it seemed	S
Some wildflower into being gleamed	S
	-
And then the dryad from her beech	T
Came silver white as is its bark	U
And slender through the dreaming dark	U
I saw her go a whispering speech	T
Was hers from whose soft murmured words	V
Is made the language of the birds	V
	-
Then satyrs and the centaurs passed	W
And then old Pan himself and there	L
Flying before him all her hair	L
About her like a mist the last	W
Wild nymph I saw and as she went	X
The woods as with a wind were bent	X
	-
And in the hush like some slow rose	M
That knows not yet that it is born	Y
A premonition of the morn	Y
Bloomed and from out its far repose	M
Borne over ocean through the wood	K
A sighing swept the solitude	Z
	-
Then nothing more But I had seen	A2
That Pan still lives and all his train	B2
Whatever men say they remain	B2
The unseen forces they that mean	A2
Nature its awe and majesty	Q
That symbolize mythology	Q
