Pan, blow your pipes and I will be Your fern, your pool, your dream, your tree! I heard you play, caught your swift eye, "A pretty melody!" called I, "Hail, Pan!" And sought to pass you by. Now blow your pipes and I will sing To your sure lips' accompanying! Wild God, who lifted me from earth, Who taught me freedom, wisdom, mirth, Immortalized my body's worth, -- Blow, blow your pipes! And from afar I'll come -- I'll be your bird, your star, Your wood, your nymph, your kiss, your rhyme, And all your godlike summer-time! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONGS OF INNOCENCE: INTRODUCTION by WILLIAM BLAKE A PIPER by JAMES SULLIVAN STARKEY A CITY PIPER by MORRIS ABEL BEER SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 25 by BLISS CARMAN THE PIPER by OLIVE TILFORD DARGAN THE PIPER by JAMES ELROY FLECKER THE PIPE-PLAYER by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE THE POET HATH LOST HIS PIPE by ROBERT HERRICK A B C'S IN GREEN by LEONORA SPEYER |
