XXXIX<br />

GREEN and Grecian is <strong>the</strong> valley,<br />

Shepherd lads and shepherd lasses<br />

Dancing in a ring<br />

Merrily and musically.<br />

How <strong>the</strong>ir happiness surpasses<br />

<strong>The</strong> mere thrill of spring!<br />

“Come” (<strong>the</strong>y cry), “Sir Knight, put by<br />

All that weight of shining armour!<br />

Here's a posy, here's a garland, <strong>the</strong>re's a chain of daisies!<br />

Here's a charmer! <strong>The</strong>re's a charmer!<br />

Praise <strong>the</strong> God that crazes men, <strong>the</strong> God that raises<br />

All our lives toe ecstasy!"<br />

Sir Palamedes was too wise<br />

To mock <strong>the</strong>ir gentle wooing;<br />

He smiles into <strong>the</strong>ir sparkling eyes<br />

While <strong>the</strong>y his armour are undoing.<br />

“For who” (quoth he) “may say that this<br />

Is not <strong>the</strong> mystery I miss?”<br />

Soon he is ga<strong>the</strong>red in <strong>the</strong> dance,<br />

And smo<strong>the</strong>red in <strong>the</strong> flowers.
