How might he hear.^* I will depart.
Sixth Maiden.
You have surely come From a land of roses, for the scent Lingers about you in the air!
THE WOOING OF DIONYSUS loi Dionysus.
Oh! wild And sultry is my country.
Second Maiden.
Such a kingdom Whereof one might be queen, and well content!
Dionysus.
Arduous are the mountains there, And the earth with subdued fire Blazes like an anvil, heat Does from every pore expire. And the blanched face of the year Shrinks appalled from the fierce eye Of the sun p...erpetually Red and molten fixed on her. The sick breezes faint and fail. Withered 'neath the noon-day's wings ; Yet still within the sunless spaces Of the wood's most secret places, Where cool shadows breathe and shiver, Roses blossom heavy and pale, Turning up astonished faces Towards the breathless nightingale — The shadowy nightingale who sings Lost and passionate for ever.
I02 THE WOOING OF DIONYSUS And lo! a god's triumphant thought, With one sudden blinding word, Called forth the tangle of the vine's torn tresses And bade it roam at will over the plain, A mystic veil divinely wrought, Shielding that land from the sun's mad caresses ; And the god's blood in each grape's heart lay stored Till it should foam anew in the wine-presses.
