Old Pan, past master Of the flute,
Thou lusty, dear, melodious brute.
And blow my spring dream open wide.
Puff on thy shaggy jowls, and make
The honey buds of Nature break
Abloom for joy; stir up the juice.
The sap, the chlorophyi. and loose
Once more s1, the tender, searching strain.
Puff out thy shaggy jowls and blow,
Now high and clear now soft and low.
Until the music .stirs my feet,
Until my veins the measure beat.
And that vague wonder masters me,
The panic of the melody.
All, Pan. Pan, Pan, one Of the boys
Still holds to those Areadian joys
Those simple. deep-born, keen delights
And love. love. love, when in the spring
The fiickers pipe and thrushes sing!

much interested in the announcement
