Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEFD AGGA HAAH AAAA IDDI JKLJ MNNM OPPQ| Grief was my master yesternight | A |
| To morrow I may grieve again | B |
| But now along the windy plain | C |
| The clouds have taken flight | A |
| - | |
| The sowers in the furrows go | D |
| The lusty river brimmeth on | E |
| The curtains from the hills are gone | F |
| The leaves are out and lo | D |
| - | |
| The silvery distance of the day | A |
| The light horizons and between | G |
| The glory of the perfect green | G |
| The tumult of the May | A |
| - | |
| The bobolinks at noonday sing | H |
| More softly than the softest flute | A |
| And lightlier than the lightest lute | A |
| Their fairy tambours ring | H |
| - | |
| The roads far off are towered with dust | A |
| The cherry blooms are swept and thinned | A |
| In yonder swaying elms the wind | A |
| Is charging gust on gust | A |
| - | |
| But here there is no stir at all | I |
| The ministers of sun and shadow | D |
| Horde all the perfumes of the meadow | D |
| Behind a grassy wall | I |
| - | |
| An infant rivulet wind free | J |
| Adown the guarded hollow sets | K |
| Over whose brink the violets | L |
| Are nodding peacefully | J |
| - | |
| From pool to pool it prattles by | M |
| The flashing swallows dip and pass | N |
| Above the tufted marish grass | N |
| And here at rest am I | M |
| - | |
| I care not for the old distress | O |
| Nor if to morrow bid me moan | P |
| To day is mine and I have known | P |
| An hour of blessedness | Q |
