MOST holy Satyr, like a goat, with horns and hooves to match thy coat of russet brown, I make leaf-circlets and a crown of honey-flowers for thy throat; where the amber petals drip to ivory, I cut and slip each stiffened petal in the rift of carven petal: honey horn has wed the bright virgin petal of the white flower cluster: lip to lip let them whisper, let them lilt, quivering: Most holy Satyr, like a goat, hear this our song, accept our leaves, love-offering, return our hymn; like echo fling a sweet song, answering note for note. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEAUTIFUL SNOW by JOHN WHITAKER WATSON THE RIVER IN THE MEADOWS by LEONIE ADAMS SEVEN SAD SONNETS: 7.
