Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDAAAAEEFFGGAAHI AAJJAA KKAAAAAALLAA| O Spring I know thee Seek for sweet surprise | A |
| In the young children's eyes | A |
| But I have learnt the years and know the yet | B |
| Leaf folded violet | C |
| Mine ear awake to silence can foretell | D |
| The cuckoo's fitful bell | D |
| I wander in a gray time that encloses | A |
| June and the wild hedge roses | A |
| A year's procession of the flowers doth pass | A |
| My feet along the grass | A |
| And all you sweet birds silent yet I know | E |
| The notes that stir you so | E |
| Your songs yet half devised in the dim dear | F |
| Beginnings of the year | F |
| In these young days you meditate your part | G |
| I have it all by heart | G |
| I know the secrets of the seeds of flowers | A |
| Hidden and warm with showers | A |
| And how in kindling Spring the cuckoo shall | H |
| Alter his interval | I |
| But not a flower or song I ponder is | A |
| My own but memory's | A |
| I shall be silent in those days desired | J |
| Before a world inspired | J |
| O dear brown birds compose your old song phrases | A |
| Earth thy familiar daisies | A |
| - | |
| The poet mused upon the dusky height | K |
| Between two stars towards night | K |
| His purpose in his heart I watched a space | A |
| The meaning of his face | A |
| There was the secret fled from earth and skies | A |
| Hid in his gray young eyes | A |
| My heart and all the Summer wait his choice | A |
| And wonder for his voice | A |
| Who shall foretell his songs and who aspire | L |
| But to divine his lyre | L |
| Sweet earth we know thy dimmest mysteries | A |
| But he is lord of his | A |
