EGOTISM OF PAN, by                    
First Line: I am the breath of the forest
Last Line: And the sundial's cycle hand.
Subject(s): Mythology - Classical; Pan (mythology)


I am the breath of the forest,
The grace of the waving bough,
The swirl of madcap billows,
And touch to the fevered brow.

The buoyancy of summer clouds,
The lilt to songs of the air,
The dazzle of snow-capped mountains,
The impulse that takes a dare.

The ethereal lay of the ballad,
Where words and melody meet,
The fragrance of woodland flowers,
And the rhythm of dancing feet.

I am the sway of the pendulum,
The glow of the burning brand,
The sound of shattering petals,
And the sundial's cycle hand.
