FAIRY FOOT by MAY FOLWELL HOISINGTON

First Line: ONCE I HAD IT TOO
Last Line: DRYAD OF THE BEECH!
Subject(s): DRYADS; FAIRIES; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL; PAN (MYTHOLOGY); ELVES;

Once I had it too,
Step of Pan upon
Sward beneath the yew,
Over bog and gone.

I can feel it yet
Tingle in the sole
Of my bare feet set
On a beechen bole.

Yes, and she is there,
Still in leafy speech
Answering my prayer --
Dryad of the beech!
