Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHBJKJ LEKEMNMN KOPQRHKH KADASTBU| Go sit upon the lofty hill | A |
| And turn your eyes around | B |
| Where waving woods and waters wild | C |
| Do hymn an autumn sound | B |
| The summer sun is faint on them | D |
| The summer flowers depart | E |
| Sit still as all transform'd to stone | F |
| Except your musing heart | E |
| - | |
| How there you sat in summer time | G |
| May yet be in your mind | H |
| And how you heard the green woods sing | I |
| Beneath the freshening wind | H |
| Though the same wind now blows around | B |
| You would its blast recall | J |
| For every breath that stirs the trees | K |
| Doth cause a leaf to fall | J |
| - | |
| Oh like that wind is all the mirth | L |
| That flesh and dust impart | E |
| We cannot bear its visitings | K |
| When change is on the heart | E |
| Gay words and jests may make us smile | M |
| When Sorrow is asleep | N |
| But other things must make us smile | M |
| When Sorrow bids us weep | N |
| - | |
| The dearest hands that clasp our hands | K |
| Their presence may be o'er | O |
| The dearest voice that meets our ear | P |
| That tone may come no more | Q |
| Youth fades and then the joys of youth | R |
| Which once refresh'd our mind | H |
| Shall come as on those sighing woods | K |
| The chilling autumn wind | H |
| - | |
| Hear not the wind view not the woods | K |
| Look out o'er vale and hill | A |
| In spring the sky encircled them | D |
| The sky is round them still | A |
| Come autumn's scathe come winter's cold | S |
| Come change and human fate | T |
| Whatever prospect Heaven doth bound | B |
| Can ne'er be desolate | U |
