Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEECFFC GGHEEH EEIJJI KKLMML KKFNNF JJOPPO AAOJJO Q| Brightly the sun of summer shone | A |
| Green fields and waving woods upon | B |
| And soft winds wandered by | C |
| Above a sky of purest blue | D |
| Around bright flowers of loveliest hue | D |
| Allured the gazer's eye | C |
| But what were all these charms to me | E |
| When one sweet breath of memory | E |
| Came gently wafting by | C |
| I closed my eyes against the day | F |
| And called my willing soul away | F |
| From earth and air and sky | C |
| - | |
| That I might simply fancy there | G |
| One little flower a primrose fair | G |
| Just opening into sight | H |
| As in the days of infancy | E |
| An opening primrose seemed to me | E |
| A source of strange delight | H |
| - | |
| Sweet Memory ever smile on me | E |
| Nature's chief beauties spring from thee | E |
| Oh still thy tribute bring | I |
| Still make the golden crocus shine | J |
| Among the flowers the most divine | J |
| The glory of the spring | I |
| - | |
| Still in the wall flower's fragrance dwell | K |
| And hover round the slight blue bell | K |
| My childhood's darling flower | L |
| Smile on the little daisy still | M |
| The buttercup's bright goblet fill | M |
| With all thy former power | L |
| - | |
| For ever hang thy dreamy spell | K |
| Round mountain star and heather bell | K |
| And do not pass away | F |
| From sparkling frost or wreathed snow | N |
| And whisper when the wild winds blow | N |
| Or rippling waters play | F |
| - | |
| Is childhood then so all divine | J |
| Or Memory is the glory thine | J |
| That haloes thus the past | O |
| Not all divine its pangs of grief | P |
| Although perchance their stay be brief | P |
| Are bitter while they last | O |
| - | |
| Nor is the glory all thine own | A |
| For on our earliest joys alone | A |
| That holy light is cast | O |
| With such a ray no spell of thine | J |
| Can make our later pleasures shine | J |
| Though long ago they passed | O |
| - | |
