Pan

Middagsstillhet och klöverånga.
Ljuset flammar och smälter i ro
över åsarnas långa
kammar, där molnen bo.

Här i backen sitter Pan
lat, med nacken mot en gran.

När han börjar spela,
spela träden, susar säden,
lyssnar hela 
jorden till hans kväden.

Livets stora hunger 
stiger stark och god,
och mitt sommarblod
sjunger.
