Once in the wind of morning	A
I ranged the thymy wold	B
The world wide air was azure	C
And all the brooks ran gold	B
	-
There through the dews beside me	D
Behold a youth that trod	E
With feathered cap on forehead	F
And poised a golden rod	E
	-
With mien to match the morning	A
And gay delightful guise	G
And friendly brows and laughter	C
He looked me in the eyes	G
	-
Oh whence I asked and whither	C
He smiled and would not say	H
And looked at me and beckoned	I
And laughed and led the way	H
	-
And with kind looks and laughter	C
And nought to say beside	J
We two went on together	C
I and my happy guide	J
	-
Across the glittering pastures	K
And empty upland still	L
And solitude of shepherds	M
High in the folded hill	L
	-
By hanging woods and hamlets	N
That gaze through orchards down	O
On many a windmill turning	A
And far discovered town	O
	-
With gay regards of promise	P
And sure unslackened stride	J
And smiles and nothing spoken	Q
Led on my merry guide	J
	-
By blowing realms of woodland	R
With sunstruck vanes afield	S
And cloud led shadows sailing	A
About the windy weald	S
	-
By valley guarded granges	T
And silver waters wide	S
Content at heart I followed	S
With my delightful guide	S
	-
And like the cloudy shadows	U
Across the country blown	V
We two face on for ever	C
But not we two alone	V
	-
With the great gale we journey	D
That breathes from gardens thinned	S
Borne in the drift of blossoms	W
Whose petals throng the wind	S
	-
Buoyed on the heaven heard whisper	C
Of dancing leaflets whirled	S
From all the woods that autumn	X
Bereaves in all the world	S
	-
And midst the fluttering legion	Q
Of all that ever died	S
I follow and before us	P
Goes the delightful guide	S
	-
With lips that brim with laughter	C
But never once respond	S
And feet that fly on feathers	K
And serpent circled wand	S
