What was he doing The Great God Pan Down in the reeds by the river Spreading ruin and scattering ban Stomping and splashing with the hooves of a goat Breaking the golden lilies afloat And the dragonfly on the river He tore out a reed The Great God Pan From the deep cool bed of the river The limpid waters turbidly ran And the broken lilies a-dying lay And the dragonfly had fled away Ere he brought it out of the river High on the shore sat The Great God Pan While turbidly flowed the river And he hacked and hewed As a Great God can With his hard bleak steel At the patient reed Til there was no sign of a leaf indeed To prove it fresh from the river He cut it short did The Great God Pan How tall it stood in the river And he tore the pith like the heart of man Steadily from the outside ring And notched the poor dry empty thing In holes as he sat by the river This is the way laughed The Great God Pan Laughed as he sat by the river The only way since gods began To make sweet music they could succeed And putting his mouth to a hole in the reed He blew in power by the river Sweet sweet sweet O Pan Piercing sweet by the river Blinding sweet, O Great God Pan The sun on the hill forgot to die And the lilies revived and the dragonfly Came back to dream on the river Yet half a beast is the Great God Pan To laugh as he sits by the river Making a poet out of a man The true gods sigh for the cost and pain And the reed which grows nevermore again As a reed with the reeds in the river
