Pan and the Maiden
 
Pan

Who fears the gods when they command not fear?

The Maiden

Ah, Pan! the woods are slipping, slipping from me!
Pan

Dost thou fear love and speech of ancient days?

The Maiden

The fear of thee is heavy on me, Pan!

Pan

Fear not, the old times live and the old speech.

The Maiden>

The new days blind me, burn me, fetter me!
