Shepherded by the slow, unwilling wind;
And the white dew on the new-bladed grass,
Just piercing the dark earth, hung silently;
And there was more which I remember not:
But on the shadows of the morning clouds,
Athwart the purple mountain slope, was written
Follow, O, follow! as they vanished by;
And on each herb, from which Heaven's dew had fallen,
The like was stamped, as with a withering fire,
A wind arose among the pines; it shook
The clinging music from their boughs, and then
Low, sweet, faint sounds, like the farewell of ghosts,
Were heard: Oh, follow, follow, follow me!
And then I said, "Panthea, look on me."
But in the depth of those beloved eyes
Still I saw, follow, follow!
Echo.
Follow, follow!
Pan. The crags, this clear spring morning, mock our voices,
As they were spirit-tongued.
Asia. It is some being
Around the crags. What fine clear sounds! Oh, list!
