So dim the place, so blest.

One had not wondered

Had Dian's mooned breast

The deep leaves sundered,

And there on them awhile

The goddess deigned to smile.

While down some forest aisle

The far hunt thundered.

I deem that hour perchance

Was but a mirror

To show them Earth's romance

And draw them nearer:

A mirror where, meseems.

All that this Earth-life dreams,

All loveliness that gleams,

Their souls saw clearer.
