Argyria

Richard Aldington

O YOU,

O you most fair,

Swayer of reeds, whisperer

Among the flowering rushes,

You have hidden away your hands

Beneath the poplar leaves;

You have given them to the white waters.

Swallow-fleet;

Sea-child cold from the waves;

Slight reed that sang so blithely in the wind;

White cloud the white sun kissed into the air;

Pan mourns for you.

White limbs, white song,

Pan mourns for you.
