NYMPHS

Where are ye now, O beautiful girls of the mountain,
      Oreads all ?
Nothing at all stirs here save the drip of the fountain;
      Answers our call
Only the heart-glad thrush, in the Vale of Thrushes;
      Stirs in the brake
But the dew-bright ear of the hare in his couch of rushes
      Listening, awake.
