ECHOES,
unseen
Echoes we: listen!
We cannot stay:
As dew-stars glisten
Then fade away--
Child of Ocean!
ASIA
Hark! Spirits speak. The liquid responses
Of their aƫrial tongues yet sound.
PANTHEA
I hear.
ECHOES
Oh, follow, follow,
As our voice recedeth
Through the caverns hollow,
Where the forest spreadeth;
(More distant)
Oh, follow, follow!
Through the caverns hollow,
As the song floats thou pursue,
Where the wild bee never flew,
Through the noontide darkness deep,
By the odor-breathing sleep
Of faint night-flowers, and the waves
At the fountain-lighted caves,
