It was but some few nights ago	A
I wandered down this quiet lane	B
I pray that I may never know	A
The feelings then I felt again	C
The leaves were shining all about	D
You might almost have seen them springing	E
I heard the cuckoo's simple shout	D
And all the little birds were singing	E
It was not dull the air was clear	F
All lovely sights and sounds to deal	G
My eyes could see my ears could hear	H
Only my heart it would not feel	G
And yet that it should not be so	A
My mind kept telling me within	I
Though nought was wrong that I did know	A
I thought I must have done some sin	I
For I am sure as I can be	J
That they who have been wont to look	K
On all in Nature's face they see	J
Even as in the Holy Book	K
They who with pure and humble eyes	L
Have gazed and read her lessons high	M
And taught their spirits to be wise	L
In love and human sympathy	J
That they can soon and surely tell	N
When aught has gone amiss within	I
When the mind is not sound and well	N
Nor the soul free from taint of sin	I
For as God's Spirit from above	O
So Beauty is to them below	A
And when they slight that holy love	O
Their hearts that presence may not know	A
So I turned home the way I came	P
With downcast looks and heavy heart	Q
A guilty thing and full of shame	P
With a dull grief that had no smart	Q
It chanced when I was nearly there	R
That all at once I raised my eyes	L
Was it a dream or vision rare	R
That then they saw before them rise	L
I see it now before me here	H
As often often I have done	S
As bright as it could then appear	F
All shining in the setting sun	S
Elms with their mantling foliage spread	T
And tall dark poplars rising out	D
And blossomed orchards white and red	T
Cast like a long low fence about	D
And in the midst the grey church tower	U
With one slight turret at its side	V
Bringing to mind with silent power	U
Those thousand homes the elm trees hide	V
And then there came the thought of one	S
Who on his bed of sickness lay	W
Whilst I beneath the setting sun	S
Was dreaming this sweet hour away	W
I thought of hearts for him that beat	X
Of aching eyes their watch that kept	Y
The sister's and the mother's seat	X
And oh I thought I should have wept	Y
And oh my spirit melted then	C
The weight fell off me that I bore	Z
And now I felt in truth again	C
The lovely things that stood before	Z
O blessed blessed scene to thee	J
For that thy sweet and softening power	U
I could have fallen upon my knee	J
Thy stately elms thy grey church tower	U
So then I took my homeward way	W
My heart in sweet and holy frame	P
With spirit I may dare to say	W
More good and soft than when I came	P
