Hymn Of Pan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAACACAAA DEDEAAAAAFFA AGAGAAHAHIJA| From the forests and highlands | A |
| We come we come | B |
| From the river girt islands | A |
| Where loud waves are dumb | B |
| Listening to my sweet pipings | A |
| The wind in the reeds and the rushes | A |
| The bees on the bells of thyme | C |
| The birds on the myrtle bushes | A |
| The cicale above in the lime | C |
| And the lizards below in the grass | A |
| Were as silent as ever old Tmolus was | A |
| Listening to my sweet pipings | A |
| - | |
| Liquid Peneus was flowing | D |
| And all dark Tempe lay | E |
| In Pelion's shadow outgrowing | D |
| The light of the dying day | E |
| Speeded by my sweet pipings | A |
| The Sileni and Sylvans and Fauns | A |
| And the Nymphs of the woods and waves | A |
| To the edge of the moist river lawns | A |
| And the brink of the dewy caves | A |
| And all that did then attend and follow | F |
| Were silent with love as you now Apollo | F |
| With envy of my sweet pipings | A |
| - | |
| I sang of the dancing stars | A |
| I sang of the d dal earth | G |
| And of heaven and the giant wars | A |
| And love and death and birth | G |
| And then I changed my pipings | A |
| Singing how down the vale of M nalus | A |
| I pursued a maiden and clasp'd a reed | H |
| Gods and men we are all deluded thus | A |
| It breaks in our bosom and then we bleed | H |
| All wept as I think both ye now would | I |
| If envy or age had not frozen your blood | J |
| At the sorrow of my sweet pipings | A |
