Read the first two stanzas of this poem: Love leads me many times beneath the shade Of ladies fair, whose necks are beauteous hills, And whiter far than flower of any grass; And one there cometh, clothed in robes of green, Who in my heart dwells, as strength dwells in rock, And among others seems as fairest lady. And when I glance upon this gentle lady, Whose brightness scatters every dusky shade, Her light so smites my heart it turns to rock; I roam, as strangled, all among the hills, Till I revive and am with love more green Than ever yet was spring or freshest grass.

The poem is an example of a pastoral poem. Pastoral poems are poems about the country life. Many famous writers like Shakespeare, Virgil, Hesiod, and Theocritus are fond of writing these types of poems. Pastoral poems are often described as pure and innocent. Most of these poems are idealized to a perfect type of country life.
