THOU still unravish'd bride of quietness,
Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time,
Sylvan 2 historian, who canst thus express
A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:
What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape
Of deities 3 or mortals, or of both,
In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?
What men or gods are these? What maidens 4 loth?
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy 5?
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss 6,
For ever wilt 7 thou love, and she be fair!
Ah, happy, happy boughs 8! that cannot shed
Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;
And, happy melodist, unwearièd,
For ever piping songs for ever new;
More happy love! more happy, happy love!
For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd,
For ever panting, and for ever young;
All breathing human passion far above,
That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,
A burning forehead, and a parching 9 tongue.
Who are these coming to the sacrifice?
To what green altar, O mysterious priest,
Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,
And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?
What little town by river or sea-shore,
Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel 10,
Is emptied of its folk, this pious 11 morn?
And, little town, thy streets for evermore
Will silent be; and not a soul, to tell
Why thou art desolate 12, can e'er return.
O Attic 13 shape! fair attitude! with brede
Of marble men and maidens overwrought,
With forest branches and the trodden weed;
Thou, silent form! dost tease us out of thought
As doth eternity 14: Cold Pastoral!
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe 15
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
