Pan and the Maiden
 
Pan lives—Pan lives—Pan lives—Pan lives to- night!
The fauns awake, the satyrs dance to-night—
Oh, tingling blood which stings and whirls me on,
And hurls me to them—loose me—let me go.

The Lover

Never! I hold you fast—you shall not leave me!

The Maiden

This one night, only this night, I will return—
Oh, my beloved! I will come again,
But now my limbs are mad to wind themselves
With branches of the vine—the kiss of Pan
Burns on my lips, it burns my soul away—
