Brownlow, Edward Burrough: In Bœotia - ZaunköniG - 14.07.2007 Vine tendrils drooping in the midday sun Take me to Greece, ere Sappho sang those lays, Whose echoes, falling down this length of days, Trance us with beauty, sweet and halcyon; Satyrs, green-garlanded, skip madly on Through woody wilds, loud shouts of ribald praise Mingle with merry laughter, and amaze The peaceful shepherds, who, affrighted, run; Fair dryads swell the riot-filling song From every tree-trunk, and from each pure spring Sweet naiad voices rise with silvery ring To welcome him who leads the dancing throng, Old Bacchus! reeling 'neath the weight of wine, Chanting a stave, half drunken, half divine. |
