When I go free | B |
I think 'twill be | B |
A night of stars and snow | A |
And the wild fires of frost shall light | C |
My footsteps as I go | A |
Nobody nobody will be there | D |
With groping touch or sight | C |
To see me in my bush of hair | D |
Dance burning through the night | C |

VOICES | E |
- | |
- | |
Who is it calling by the darkened river | F |
Where the moss lies smooth and deep | G |
And the dark trees lean unmoving arms | H |
Silent and vague in sleep | G |
And the bright heeled constellations pass | I |
In splendour through the gloom | J |
Who is it calling o'er the darkened river | F |
In music Come | K |
- | |
Who is it wandering in the summer meadows | L |
Where the children stoop and play | M |
In the green faint scented flowers spinning | N |
The guileless hours away | M |
Who touches their bright hair who puts | O |
A wind shell to each cheek | P |
Whispering betwixt its breathing silences | Q |
Seek seek | P |
- | |
Who is it watching in the gathering twilight | C |
When the curfew bird hath flown | R |
On eager wings from song to silence | S |
To its darkened nest alone | R |
Who takes for brightening eyes the stars | T |
For locks the still moonbeam | U |
Sighs through the dews of evening peacefully | B |
Falling Dream | U |

SORCERY | B |
- | |
- | |
What voice is that I hear | V |
Crying across the pool | W |
It is the voice of Pan you hear | V |
Crying his sorceries shrill and clear | X |
In the twilight dim and cool | W |
- | |
What song is it he sings | Y |
Echoing from afar | Z |
While the sweet swallow bends her wings | Y |
Filling the air with twitterings | Y |
Beneath the brightening star | Z |
- | |
The woodman answered me | B |
His faggot on his back | A2 |
Seek not the face of Pan to see | B |
Flee from his clear note summoning thee | B |
To darkness deep and black | A2 |
- | |
He dwells in thickest shade | B2 |
Piping his notes forlorn | C2 |
Of sorrow never to be allayed | B2 |
Turn from his coverts sad | D2 |
Of twilight unto morn | C2 |
- | |
The woodman passed away | M |
Along the forest path | E2 |
His ax shone keen and grey | M |
In the last beams of day | M |
And all was still as death | F2 |
- | |
Only Pan singing sweet | G2 |
Out of Earth's fragrant shade | B2 |
I dreamed his eyes to meet | G2 |
And found but shadow laid | B2 |
Before my tired feet | G2 |
- | |
Comes no more dawn to me | B |
Nor bird of open skies | Y |
Only his woods' deep gloom I see | B |
Till at the end of all shall rise | Y |
Afar and tranquilly | W |
Death's stretching sea | B |
