from Half Moon
The lilies float like slender hands
Toward a satyr-trampled brink.
With crowns of oakleaves in their hair
The shouting fauns come down to drink.
Not Innocency's self shall walk
These breathless ways and shall not see
The wine-stained lips and dangerous eyes,
The swart-faced folk of Arcady;
And lovers, who have wandered through
The clover-purple evening's peace,
Have seen, deep-breasted, insolent,
The mocking loveliness of Greece –
Have heard the lawless bugles sing
From that defiant Paradise,
And glimpsed, like moonlight through the trees,
The glory of unearthly eyes.
– Robin Hyde (1927)
