Poems
Pan

Cast all their glamour from thee—I am here.

The Maiden

This is the travail of death which brings forth Life,

Pan

Pan dies not, nor the memory of Pan—
The great gods sleep—they shall not always sleep—
Nor shall the world lose Beauty till it die.

The Maiden

Oh, Pan! thy words are fruitful memories
And madden me with thoughts of ardent days
And Greek nights, insatiate when the astonished woods
Woke 'neath the maddened overwhelming cry
