Subject(s): DAUGHTERS; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL; PAN (MYTHOLOGY);

These are the green
Pillows of Pan.
This is the golden water

He leaves his feet in when he gets up.
This is his platter, this his cup.
'Round his table are shepherds led,
To taste of his rare, ambrosial bread.
They come from far when the Pan-pipes play,
And throng his banqueting halls all day.

These are the keen
Pleasures of Pan;
And I am his wilding daughter.
