LISTEN, my sweet, the great god Pan is calling.
I hear his shrill notes trembling on the breeze,
Hark to the piercing echo, -- waning, falling!
See how his hair gleams yonder 'mid the trees.
Nor pain to-day, nor worry for the morrow,
Let them not live before a strain so sweet!
And joys we lack, love, let us haste to borrow
From him who pipes there on his grassy seat.
