Song to Pan

Can you hear the forest sing?

On a breath of damiana it calls his name

Seduced by his spirit once again

Cloven hooves beat upon the earth

He comes to us from Arcadia through the trees

The rush of his force felt upon the breeze

He comes on hooves of goat

He comes with songs that float on the wind

Let your senses know him.

Feel the earth it trembles underneath shaggy thighs

The sky is afire from his flashing eyes

If a nymph I'd follow him

Be a match for his wild carousing and bestial ways

And in the woods I too would play

He comes on hooves of goat

He comes with songs that float on the wind

He comes on hooves of goat

He comes with songs that float on the wind

"Oh great horned god of ages past

Lord of the hunt, Lord of the dance

From that place where you lie slain

Come to me, return again

Across the mountains, the fields, the sands

Be once more upon this land!

Oh great horned god, of times gone by

Lord of the earth, the sea and the sky

Of the forest, and of the glade

Be with us now, and for all our days

Herne, Cernunnos, Karnayna, Pan

Be once more upon this land... "
