Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE CGFG HIJI CKLK CMNM| Alone upon my hill top | A |
| After the ravelled rains | B |
| I see the cloudy mountains | C |
| I see the misty plains | B |
| - | |
| Fair is my hill and rugged | D |
| Where silken grasses grow | E |
| And the drifted clouds go by me | F |
| More soft than woven snow | E |
| - | |
| The pale fantastic lichens | C |
| Make patterns on the stone | G |
| And the oaks are old and dwarf d | F |
| With golden mosses grown | G |
| - | |
| Beneath the ancient boulders | H |
| There dwells the shadowy fern | I |
| And here the twisted pine trees | J |
| To shapes of beauty turn | I |
| - | |
| I wander through the seasons | C |
| With thoughts of love and grief | K |
| That fall with the flowers of springtime | L |
| Or blow with the autumn leaf | K |
| - | |
| Between the plains and mountains | C |
| Between the clouds and grass | M |
| I find the dreams that linger | N |
| And the fairer dreams that pass | M |
