Gnatho Satyr homing at dusk	A
Trotting home like a tired dog	B
By mountain slopes 'twixt the junipers	C
And flamed oleanders near the sea	D
Found a girl child asleep in a fleece	E
Frail as wax golden and rose	F
Whereat at first he skipt aside	G
And stayed him nosing and peering whereto	G
Next he crept softly breathing	H
Blinking his fear None was there	I
To guard the sun had dipt in the sea	D
Faint fire empurpled the flow	J
Of heaving water no speck no hint	G
Of oar or wing on the main on the deep	K
Sky empty as a great shell	L
Fainting in its own glory This thing	H
This rare breath this miracle	M
Alone with him in the world His	N
To wonder fall to with craning eyes	O
Fearfully daring next since it moved not	G
Stooping to handle to stroke to peer upon	P
Closely nosing its tender length	Q
Doglike snuffing at last to kiss	R
In reverence wonderful lightlier far	S
Than thistledown falls brushing the Earth	T
But the child awoke and watching him cried not	G
Cruddled visage choppy hands	U
Blinking eyes red litten astare	S
Horns and feet nay crowed and strained	G
To reach this wonder	S
As one a glass	V
Light as foam hued like the foam	W
A breath bubble of fire will carry	S
He in arms lifted his freight	G
Looking wonderfully upon it	G
With scarce a breath and humbleness	V
To be so brute ebbed to the flood	G
Of pride in his new assur d worth	T
Trusted so who could be vile	X
	-
So to his cave in the wood he bore her	S
Fleeting swift as a fear thro' the dark trees	V
	-
There in the silence of tall trees	V
Under the soaring shafts	V
Far beneath the canopied leafage	Y
In the forest whisper the thick silences	V
Or on the wastes	V
Of sheltered mountains where the spires	V
Of solemn cypress frame the descent	G
Upon the blue and open to sea	V
Here grew Ianthe maiden slim	Z
With none to spy but this gnarled man brute	G
Most fair most hid like a wood flower	S
Slim for lack of light so she grew	S
In flowering line of limb	Z
And flower of face retired and shy	A2
Urged by the bland air unknown	B2
Lonely and lovely husbanding	H
Her great possessions hers now	C2
Another's when he cared to claim them	D2
For thus went life to lead the herds	V
Of pricking deer she saw the great stags	V
Battle in empty glades then mate	G
Thus on the mountains chose the bears	V
And in the woods she heard the wolves	V
Anguishing in their loves	V
Thro' the dense nights far in the forest	G
And so collected went she and sure	S
Her time would come and with it her master	S
	-
But Gnatho watcht her under his brows	V
When she lay heedless spilling beauty	V
How ever lovelier suppler sleeker	S
How more desirable how near	S
How rightly his how surely his	V
Then gnaw'd his cheek and turn'd his head	G
	-
For unsuspect some dim forbidding	H
Rose within him and knockt at his heart	G
And said Not thine but for reverence	V
And some wild horror desperate drove him	Z
Suing a pardon from unknown Gods	V
For untold trespass to seek the sea	V
Upon whose shore to whose cool breathing	H
He'd stretch his arms broken with strife	E2
Of self and self and all that water	S
Steadfast lapt and surged Came tears	V
To furrow his cheeks came strength to return	F2
To her and bear with longer breath	G2
Her sweet familiarities blind	G
Obedience to nascent blind desire	S
Till again he lookt and burn'd again	H2
	-
Thus his black ferment boil'd O' nights	V
He'd dream and revel frenziedly	X
As with the love stung nymphs Awake	H
In a chill sweat he'd tear at himself	I2
Claw at his flesh and leap in the brook	H
Drench the red embers of his vice	V
Into a mass abhorred Clean then	H2
He'd seek his bed and pass unscath'd	G
The bower of fern where the sleek limbs	V
Of white Ianthe mesht in her hair	S
Lay lax in sleep But Gnatho now	C2
Saw only God as on some still peak	H
Snowy and lonely under the stars	V
We look and see God in all that calm	J2
	-
One night of glamour under a moon	K2
That seemed to steep the air with gold	G
They two sat stilly and watcht the sea	V
Tremulously heaving over a path	L2
Of light like a river of molten gold	G
Warm blew the breeze to land she lean'd	G
Her idle head idly played	G
Her fingers in his belt and he	V
Embracing held her yielding subdued	G
Sideways saw the curve of her cheek	H
Downcast lashes droopt lip	M2
Which seem'd to court his pleasure	S
Then	H2
On waves of fire came racing his needs	V
With zest of rage to possess and tear	S
That which his frenzy maskt as love	N2
Courted so he lean'd to her ear	S
Thrilled in torrents hoarse his case	V
Love I burn I burn	F2
Slake me love He raved in whisper	S
And she lookt up with her wide full eyes	V
Saying My love and yielded herself	I2
	-
Deep night settled on hill and plain	O2
The moon went out the concourse of stars	V
Lay strewn above and with golden eyes	V
Peered on them lockt Far and faint	G
The great stags belled far and faint	G
Quested the wolves the leopards' howling	H
Lent desolation to night and low	X
The night jar purr'd At sea one light	G
Swayed restlessly and on the rocks	V
Sounded the tireless lapping deep	K
Lockt they lay thro' all the silences	V
	-
Dawn stole in with whimper of rain	O2
And a wailing wind from the sea	V
Gray sea gray dawn and scurrying clouds	V
And scud of rain The fisher boat	G
The sands the headlands fringed with broom	P2
And tamarisk were blotted	G
Alone	B2
Caged in the mist of earth	T
That beat his torment back to himself	I2
So that in vain he sought for the Gods	V
And lifted up hands in vain	O2
To witness this white wreck prone and still	X
Gnatho the Satyr blinkt on his work	H
