Enchantment

Topics: classic

The deep seclusion of this forest path, -     O'er which the green boughs weave a canopy;     Along which bluet and anemone     Spread dim a carpet; where the Twilight hath     Her cool abode; and, sweet as aftermath,     Wood-fragrance roams, - has so enchanted me,     That yonder blossoming bramble seems to be     A Sylvan resting, rosy from her bath:     Has so enspelled me with tradition's dreams,     That every foam-white stream that, twinkling, flows,     And every bird that flutters wings of tan,     Or warbles hidden, to my fancy seems     A Naiad dancing to a Faun who blows     Wild woodland music on the pipes of Pan.
