The Bacchae Chorus

 

 

-  When shall I dance once more
    with bare feet the all-night dances,
    tossing my head for joy
    in the damp air, in the dew,
    as a running fawn might frisk
    for the green joy of the wide fields,
    free from fear of the hunt,
    free from the circling beaters
    and the nets of woven mesh
    and the hunters hallooing on
    their yelping packs? And then, hard pressed,
    she sprints with the quickness of wind,
    bounding over the marsh, leaping
    to frisk, leaping for joy,
    gay with the green of the leaves,
    to dance for joy in the forest,
    to dance where the darkness is deepest, where no
          man is.
