"And still I dream he treads the lawns" and the two following verses are the epigraph of "Do androids dream of electric sheeps", the Philip K. Dick's novel wich was adapted as "Blade Runner". A novel dealing with the humanity substance...

My class and I just finished an analysis of this poem, and here is what we came up with:
the speaker in the poem starts by describing the modern world and contrasting it to the old world, "The woods of Arcady." He suggests that the problems of the new world cannot be solved or dealt with by looking to history or to the stars, but only by looking into our own hearts for answers. He then finishes by telling us that he still lives in the past (and still I dream he treads the lawn), and cannot begin to address the future, but that perhaps that is better left for someone young and energetic (dream thou!). To read this poem thoroughly, it is necessary to look up all the allusions, such as to Arcady, Chronos, and the "hapless faun."
