POEMS

PAN AND THE MAIDEN
Scene I.—A deep wood in Spring

The Maiden

Pan, I have sought thee leaving the hot world,
And all the skein of tangled nights and days—
The mirth, the tears, the impotence of man,
Because I am very weary, and my heart
Waastes for thee, longing sadly for cool glades
And pleasant speech of leaves and quiet air.
(She pauses.)
