Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HIHJKDLD GMGNODOD IPIPKQLQ| Sweet lark that bedded in the tangled grass | A |
| Protractest dewy slumbers wake arise | B |
| The brightest moments of the morning pass | A |
| Thou shouldst be up and carolling in the skies | B |
| Go up go up and melt into the blue | C |
| And to heaven's veil on wings of song repair | D |
| But ere thou dost descend to earth peep through | C |
| And see if She be there | D |
| - | |
| Sweet stockdove cooing in the flushing wood | E |
| On one green bough brooding till morn hath died | F |
| Oh leave the perch where thou too long hast stood | E |
| And with strong wings flutter the leaves aside | F |
| Fly on fly on past feathery copse nor stay | G |
| Till thou hast skimmed o'er all the woodlands fair | D |
| And when thou hast then speeding back thy way | G |
| Tell me if She be there | D |
| - | |
| Sweet breeze that wearied with the heat of noon | H |
| Upon a bank of daffodils didst die | I |
| Oh if thou lov'st me quit thy perfumed swoon | H |
| And all refreshed hither and thither hie | J |
| Traverse the glades where browse the dappled deer | K |
| Thrid the deep dells where none but thou mayst dare | D |
| And then sweet breeze returning to my ear | L |
| Whisper if She be there | D |
| - | |
| Sweet rivulet running far too fast to stay | G |
| Yet hear my plaint e'en as thou rollest on | M |
| I am alone alone both night and day | G |
| For she I love was with me and is gone | N |
| Oh shouldst thou find her on the golden beach | O |
| Whither thou speedest ocean's joys to share | D |
| Remount thy course despite what sophists teach | O |
| And tell me She is there | D |
| - | |
| Not there Nor there Not in the far off sky | I |
| Close keeping woods or by the shining sea | P |
| When lark dove breeze and rivulet vainly try | I |
| To find my sweet oh where then may she be | P |
| Hath she then left me me she vowed so dear | K |
| And she whose shadow dusks all other charms | Q |
| O foolish messengers Look look She's here | L |
| Enfolded in my arms | Q |
