SYRINX
LEAVE me to wither here by this dark pool,
Where the winds sigh amid the shuddering reeds,
And slimy things creep through the water-weeds,
And snakes glide out from coverts dim and cool.
Leave me, O Pan ; thou hast been made the fool
Of thy hot love; go where thy white flock feeds,
And pipe thy ditties in the dewy meads.
And watch the silly sheep that own thy rule.
Get hence; I am become a loveless thing;
No charms of mine shall ever tempt thee more ;
No more in valleys green and echoing
Shalt thou surprise and fright me, as of yore ;
Go, clash thy hoofs, and make the woodlands ring.
But let me wither here on this dark shore.
