rhea's obsession - hymn to pan lyrics

thrill with the lissome l-st of the light
oh my man! my man!
come careering out of the night
io pan! io pan! come over the sea
over sea;
roaming as bacchus, with fauns and pards
and nymphs and satyrs for thy guards
on a milk-white -ss, over the sea
come to me, come to me
come with apollo in bridal dress
(my shepherdess, my pythoness)
come with artemis, silken shod
and wash thy white thighs, my beautiful god
in the moon of the woods, on the marble mount
and in the dimpled dawn of the amber fount!
dip the p-ssionate prayer
in the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare
the crimson shrine
the soul that startles dip
to watch thy wantonness weeping through
the tangled grove
of the living tree
that is spirit and soul
and body and brain – over the sea
i am not man
devil or god, come to me
i am not man
dip the p-ssionate prayer
in the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare
come with trumpets sounding shrill
come with drums low muttering
from the spring!
come with flute and come with pipe!
am i not ripe?
am i not ripe?
i am not man
i, who wait and writhe and wrestle
my body, weary of empty clasp
i am numb, i am numb
with the lonely l-st of devildom
thrust the sword through the galling fetter
i am awake in the grip of the snake
the eagle slashes with beak and claw;
the gods withdraw;
to the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare
to the soul that startles in eyes of blue
to watch thy wantonness weeping
the tangled grove
of the living tree
that is spirit and soul
and body and brain – over the sea
devil or god
i am not man
i am awake in the grip of the snake
the eagle slashes with beak and claw
the eagle slashes with beak and claw
i am numb, i am numb
with the lonely l-st of devildom
the eagle slashes with beak and claw
the gods withdraw
wash thy white thighs, my beautiful god
in the moon of the woods, on the marble mount
the eagle slashes with beak and claw
the gods withdraw
on the marble mount
in the dimpled dawn of the amber fount
dip the p-ssionate prayer
in the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare
the soul that startles dip
to watch thy wantonness weeping through
the tangled grove
the eagle slashes
the eagle slashes with beak and claw
the gods withdraw.(3)
