I have no storeA
Of gryphon guarded goldB
Now as beforeA
Bare is the shepherd's foldB
Rubies nor pearlsC
Have I to gem thy throatD
Yet woodland girlsC
Have loved the shepherd's noteD
-
Then pluck a reedE
And bid me sing to theeF
For I would feedE
Thine ears with melodyF
Who art more fairG
Than fairest fleur de lysC
More sweet and rareG
Than sweetest ambergrisC
-
What dost thou fearH
Young Hyacinth is slainI
Pan is not hereJ
And will not come againK
No horned FaunK
Treads down the yellow leasC
No God at dawnK
Steals through the olive treesC
-
Hylas is deadL
Nor will he e'er divineK
Those little redL
Rose petalled lips of thineK
On the high hillM
No ivory dryads playN
Silver and stillM
Sinks the sad autumn dayN
