What tune the enchantress plays | B |
In aftermaths of soft September | C |
Or under blanching mays | B |
For she and I were long acquainted | D |
And I knew all her ways | B |

On russet floors by waters idle | E |
The pine lets fall its cone | F |
The cuckoo shouts all day at nothing | A |
In leafy dells alone | F |
And traveller s joy beguiles in autumn | G |
Hearts that have lost their own | F |
- | |
On acres of the seeded grasses | H |
The changing burnish heaves | I |
Or marshalled under moons of harvest | J |
Stand still all night the sheaves | I |
Or beeches strip in storms for winter | C |
And stain the wind with leaves | I |
- | |
Posses as I possessed a season | K |
The countries I resign | L |
Where over elmy plains the highway | M |
Would mount the hills and shine | L |
And full of shade the pillared forest | J |
Would murmur and be mine | L |
- | |
For nature heartless witless nature | C |
Will neither care nor know | N |
What stranger s feet may find the meadow | N |
And trespass there and go | N |
Nor ask amid the dews of morning | A |
If they are mine or no | N |
