Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEDE AFAF FBFB GHGH GHGH HIHI AHAH GGGA HGAG BBB HGH GAGGG| In moss prankt dells which the sunbeams flatter | A |
| And heaven it knoweth what that may mean | B |
| Meaning however is no great matter | A |
| Where woods are a tremble with words a tween | B |
| - | |
| Thro' God's own heather we wonned together | A |
| I and my Willie O love my love | C |
| I need hardly remark it was glorious weather | A |
| And flitter bats wavered alow above | C |
| - | |
| Boats were curtseying rising bowing | D |
| Boats in that climate are so polite | E |
| And sands were a ribbon of green endowing | D |
| And O the sun dazzle on bark and bight | E |
| - | |
| Thro' the rare red heather we danced together | A |
| O love my Willie and smelt for flowers | F |
| I must mention again it was glorious weather | A |
| Rhymes are so scarce in this world of ours | F |
| - | |
| By rises that flushed with their purple favors | F |
| Thro' becks that brattled o'er grasses sheen | B |
| We walked or waded we two young shavers | F |
| Thanking our stars we were both so green | B |
| - | |
| We journeyed in parallels I and Willie | G |
| In fortunate parallels Butterflies | H |
| Hid in weltering shadows of daffodilly | G |
| Or marjoram kept making peacock eyes | H |
| - | |
| Song birds darted about some inky | G |
| As coal some snowy I ween as curds | H |
| Or rosy as pinks or as roses pinky | G |
| They reck of no eerie To come those birds | H |
| - | |
| But they skim over bents which the mill stream washes | H |
| Or hang in the lift 'neath a white cloud's hem | I |
| They need no parasols no goloshes | H |
| And good Mrs Trimmer she feedeth them | I |
| - | |
| Then we thrid God's cowslips as erst His heather | A |
| That endowed the wan grass with their golden blooms | H |
| And snapt it was perfectly charming weather | A |
| Our fingers at Fate and her goddess glooms | H |
| - | |
| And Willie 'gan sing Oh his notes were fluty | G |
| Wafts fluttered them out to the white winged sea | G |
| Something made up of rhymes that have done much duty | G |
| Rhymes better to put it of 'ancientry' | A |
| - | |
| Bowers of flowers encountered showers | H |
| In William's carol O love my Willie | G |
| Then he bade sorrow borrow from blithe tomorrow | A |
| I quite forget what say a daffodilly | G |
| - | |
| A nest in a hollow 'with buds to follow ' | - |
| I think occurred next in his nimble strain | B |
| And clay that was 'kneaden' of course in 'Eden' | B |
| A rhyme most novel I do maintain | B |
| - | |
| Mists bones the singer himself love stories | H |
| And all least furlable things got 'furled' | G |
| Not with any design to conceal their glories | H |
| But simply and solely to rhyme with 'world ' | - |
| - | |
| O if 'billows' and 'pillows' and 'hours' and 'flowers ' | - |
| And all the brave rhymes of an elder day | G |
| Could be furled together this genial weather | A |
| And carted or carried on wafts away | G |
| Nor ever again trotted out ah me | G |
| How much fewer volumes of verse there'd be | G |
