Il semblait grelotter	A
	-
XXXVI December	A
	-
	-
He seemed to shiver for the wind was keen	B
'Twas a poor statue underneath a mass	C
Of leafless branches with a blackened back	D
And a green foot an isolated Faun	B
In old deserted park who bending forward	E
Half merged himself in the entangled boughs	F
Half in his marble settings He was there	A
Pensive and bound to earth and as all things	G
Devoid of movement he was there forgotten	B
	-
Trees were around him whipped by icy blasts	H
Gigantic chestnuts without leaf or bird	E
And like himself grown old in that same place	I
Through the dark network of their undergrowth	J
Pallid his aspect and the earth was brown	B
Starless and moonless a rough winter's night	K
Was letting down her lappets o'er the mist	L
This nothing more old Faun dull sky dark wood	M
	-
Poor helpless marble how I've pitied it	N
Less often man the harder of the two	O
	-
So then without a word that might offend	P
His ear deformed for well the marble hears	Q
The voice of thought I said to him You hail	R
From the gay amorous age O Faun what saw you	O
When you were happy Were you of the Court	S
	-
Speak to me comely Faun as you would speak	T
To tree or zephyr or untrodden grass	C
Have you O Greek O mocker of old days	U
Have you not sometimes with that oblique eye	V
Winked at the Farnese Hercules Alone	B
Have you O Faun considerately turned	W
From side to side when counsel seekers came	X
And now advised as shepherd now as satyr	A
Have you sometimes upon this very bench	Y
Seen at mid day Vincent de Paul instilling	Z
Grace into Gondi Have you ever thrown	B
That searching glance on Louis with Fontange	A2
On Anne with Buckingham and did they not	B2
Start with flushed cheeks to hear your laugh ring forth	C2
From corner of the wood Was your advice	D2
As to the thyrsis or the ivy asked	E2
When in grand ballet of fantastic form	F2
God Phoebus or God Pan and all his court	S
Turned the fair head of the proud Montespan	B
Calling her Amaryllis La Fontaine	B
Flying the courtiers' ears of stone came he	G2
Tears on his eyelids to reveal to you	O
The sorrows of his nymphs of Vaux What said	H2
Boileau to you to you O lettered Faun	B
Who once with Virgil in the Eclogue held	I2
That charming dialogue Say have you seen	B
Young beauties sporting on the sward Have you	O
Been honored with a sight of Moli re	A
In dreamy mood Has he perchance at eve	J2
When here the thinker homeward went has he	G2
Who seeing souls all naked could not fear	A
Your nudity in his inquiring mind	K2
Confronted you with Man	B
	-
Under the thickly tangled branches thus	L2
Did I speak to him he no answer gave	M2
	-
I shook my head and moved myself away	A
Then from the copses and from secret caves	N2
Hid in the wood methought a ghostly voice	O2
Came forth and woke an echo in my souls	P2
As in the hollow of an amphora	A
	-
Imprudent poet thus it seemed to say	A
What dost thou here Leave the forsaken Fauns	A
In peace beneath their trees Dost thou not know	B
Poet that ever it is impious deemed	Q2
In desert spots where drowsy shades repose	A
Though love itself might prompt thee to shake down	B
The moss that hangs from ruined centuries	A
And with the vain noise of throe ill timed words	A
To mar the recollections of the dead	H2
	-
Then to the gardens all enwrapped in mist	L
I hurried dreaming of the vanished days	A
And still behind me hieroglyph obscure	A
Of antique alphabet the lonely Faun	B
Held to his laughter through the falling night	K
	-
I went my way but yet in saddened spirit	R2
Pondering on all that had my vision crossed	S2
Leaves of old summers fair ones of old time	T2
Through all at distance would my fancy see	A
In the woods statues shadows in the past	U2
