| - | |
| The far green westward heavens are bland | B |
| The far green Wiltshire downs are clear | C |
| As these deep meadows hard at hand | B |
| The sight knows hardly far from near | C |
| Nor morning joy from evening cheer | C |
| In cottage garden plots their bees | D |
| Find many a fervent flower to seize | D |
| And strain and drain the heart away | E |
| From ripe sweet williams and sweet peas | D |
| At every turn on every way | E |
| But gladliest seems one flower to expand | B |
| Its whole sweet heart all round us here | F |
| 'Tis Heartsease Country Pansy Land | B |
| Nor sounds nor savours harsh and drear | F |
| Where engines yell and halt and veer | F |
| Can vex the sense of him who sees | D |
| One flower plot midway that for trees | D |
| Has poles and sheds all grimed or grey | F |
| For bowers like those that take the breeze | D |
| At every turn on every way | F |
| Content even there they smile and stand | B |
| Sweet thought's heart easing flowers nor fear | F |
| With reek and roaring steam though fanned | B |
| Nor shrink nor perish as they peer | F |
| The heart's eye holds not those more dear | F |
| That glow between the lanes and leas | D |
| Where'er the homeliest hand may please | D |
| To bid them blossom as they may | F |
| Where light approves and wind agrees | D |
| At every turn on every way | F |
| Sister the word of winds and seas | D |
| Endures not as the word of these | D |
| Your wayside flowers whose breath would say | F |
| How hearts that love may find heart's ease | D |
| At every turn on every way | F |
