Excerpt from Rhymes a La Mode With singing of glad birds and still Such music came as in the woods Most lonely, consecrate to Pan, The Wind makes, in his many moods, Upon the pipes some shepherd Man, Hangs up, in thanks for victory On these shall mortals play no more, But the Wind doth touch them, over and o'er, And the Wind's breath in the reeds will sigh.
