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