Le Faune

An ancient terra-cotta Faun,
A laughing note in ‘mid the green,
Grins at us from the central lawn,
With secret and sarcastic mien.

It is that he foresees, perchance,
A bad end to the moments dear
That with gay music and light dance
Have led us, pensive pilgrims, here.

Translated by Gertrude Hall
