  Tlie 
  sylvan 
  powers 
  

  

  Obey 
  our 
  summons 
  ; 
  from 
  tbeir 
  deepest 
  dells 
  

  

  Tlie 
  Dryads 
  come, 
  and 
  throw 
  their 
  garlands 
  wild 
  

  

  And 
  odorous 
  branches 
  at 
  our 
  feet 
  ; 
  the 
  Nymphs 
  

  

  That 
  press 
  with 
  nimble 
  step 
  the 
  mountain-thyme 
  

  

  And 
  purple 
  heath-flower 
  come 
  not 
  empty-handed, 
  

  

  But 
  scatter 
  round 
  teu 
  thousand 
  forms 
  minute 
  

  

  Of 
  velvet 
  moss 
  or 
  lichen, 
  torn 
  from 
  rock 
  

  

  Or 
  rifted 
  oak 
  or 
  cavern 
  deep 
  : 
  the 
  Naiads 
  too 
  

  

  Quit 
  their 
  loved 
  native 
  stream, 
  from 
  whose 
  smooth 
  face 
  

  

  They 
  crop 
  the 
  lily, 
  and 
  each 
  sedge 
  and 
  rush 
  

  

  That 
  drinks 
  the 
  rippling 
  tide: 
  the 
  frozen 
  poles, 
  

  

  Where 
  peril 
  'waits 
  the 
  bold 
  adventurer's 
  tread, 
  

  

  The 
  burning 
  sands 
  of 
  Borneo 
  and 
  Cayenne, 
  

  

  All, 
  all 
  to 
  us 
  unlock 
  their 
  secret 
  stores 
  

  

  And 
  pay 
  their 
  cheerful 
  tribute.
