 Laughing and half divine
 * The boy began,

Drunk with a woodland wine
 * Thessalian:

But there was rue to twine
 * The pipes of Pan.

Therefore he skipped and flew
 * The more along,

Vivid and always new
 * And always wrong,

Knowing his only clew
 * A siren song.

Careless of each and all
 * He gave and spent:

Feast or a funeral
 * He laughed and went,

Laughing to be so small
 * In the event.
