A STRAIN of music — slipping forth as soft, From shepherd ' s pipe, as thistle-down that blows Across a field of thyme — ' twas this that rose To greet you in the far-off land where Dream Eludes the Dreamer many a time and oft ; Among those pine-trees, see her bright hair gleam! Yet when pursued, forsooth, she is not there, But through the wood she flits, and Dreamer long Shall follow, never find. So fled the song That we would sing you, though with piteous plaint We sought the tricksy shepherd, and the air Was full of half-heard music, sweet and faint. But if the humbler shepherd, whom we heard Piping most mad and rollicking of lays Can make you smile, why, all the weary days We spent in toiling through the brambles tall Will not have been in vain. For every word We wrought to give you pleasure, — that was all.
