THE PRAISE OF See also:DIONYSUS
Behold, above the mountains there is See also:light, A streak of See also:gold, a See also:line of gathering See also:fire,
And the dim See also:East hath suddenly grown See also:bright With See also:pale aerial See also:flame, that drives up higher The lurid mists which all the See also:night See also:long were Breasting the dark ravines and coverts See also:bare; Behold, behold! the See also:granite See also:gates unclose, And down the vales a lyric See also:people flows, Who See also:dance to See also:music, and in dancing fling Their frantic See also:robes to every See also:wind that blows, And deathless praises to the See also:Vine-See also:God sing.
Nearer they See also:press, and nearer still in sight, Still dancing blithely in a seemly See also:choir;
Tossing on high the See also:symbol of their rite, The See also:cone-tipp'd See also:thyrsus of a god's See also:desire; Nearer they come, tall damsels flushed and See also:fair, With See also:ivy circling their abundant See also:hair,
Onward, with even See also:pace, in stately rows,
With See also:eye that flashes, and with cheek that glows, And all the while their See also:tribute-songs they bring, And newer glories of the past disclose
And deathless praises to the Vine-God sing.
The pure luxuriance of their limbs is See also:- WHITE

white, And flashes clearer as they draw the nigher, Bathed in an See also:air of See also:infinite delight,
Smooth without See also:wound of See also:thorn, or fleck of mire, See also:Borne up by See also:song as by a See also:trumpet's blare, Leading the See also:van to See also:conquest, on they fare, Fearless and bold, whoever comes or goes, These shining cohorts of Bacchantes See also:close, Shouting and shouting till the mountains See also:ring, And forests grim forget their See also:ancient woes, And deathless praises to the Vine-God sing.
And youths there are for whom full many a night
Brought dreams of See also:bliss, vague dreams that haunt and See also:tire Who See also:rose in their own See also:ecstasy bedight,
And wandered forth through many a scourging briar, And waited shivering in the icy air,
And wrapped the See also:leopard-skin about them there,
Knowing for all the See also:bitter air that froze,

king,
And follow, follow where the ivy grows,
And deathless praises to the Vine-See also:Cod sing.
But oh! within the See also:heart of this See also:great See also:flight, Whose See also:ivory arms hold up the See also:golden See also:lyre? What See also:form is this of more than mortal height? What matchless beauty, what inspired ire?
The brindled panthers know the See also:prize they See also:bear, And harmonize their steps with See also:tender care; See also:Bent to the See also:morning, like a living rose, The immortal splendour of his See also:face he shows; And, where he glances, See also:leaf and See also:flower and wing Tremble with rapture, stirred in their repose, And deathless praises to the Vine-God sing.
