Oh, for a breath of spicy woodland air, The healing balsam of the odorous pine, To thrill my nerveless pulse like beaded wine!Oh, for some sylvan Hebe to prepareFor me the nectared cups of mosses rare Till quickened sense shall catch the merry shine Of hidden wood nymphs eyes that flash on mineTween waving tresses of the maidenhair !Oh, for a day of freedom in the wood !
