Editor's Selection of Poems
Faun

by Robert Graves

Here down this very way,   
Here only yesterday   
  King Faun went leaping.   
He sang, with careless shout   
Hurling his name about;  
He sang, with oaken stock   
His steps from rock to rock   
  In safety keeping,   
    "Here Faun is free,   
    Here Faun is free!" 
   
Today against yon pine,   
Forlorn yet still divine,   
  King Faun leant weeping.   
"They drank my holy brook,   
My strawberries they took,
My private path they trod."  
Loud wept the desolate God,  
  Scorn on scorn heaping,   
    "Faun, what is he?   
    Faun, what is he?"
