Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEFG HIJC GGJG KLAG MLGG NOPQ| I dreaded that first robin so | A |
| But he is mastered now | B |
| And I'm accustomed to him grown | C |
| He hurts a little though | A |
| - | |
| I thought if I could only live | D |
| Till that first shout got by | E |
| Not all pianos in the woods | F |
| Had power to mangle me | G |
| - | |
| I dared not meet the daffodils | H |
| For fear their yellow gown | I |
| Would pierce me with a fashion | J |
| So foreign to my own | C |
| - | |
| I wished the grass would hurry | G |
| So when 't was time to see | G |
| He'd be too tall the tallest one | J |
| Could stretch to look at me | G |
| - | |
| I could not bear the bees should come | K |
| I wished they'd stay away | L |
| In those dim countries where they go | A |
| What word had they for me | G |
| - | |
| They're here though not a creature failed | M |
| No blossom stayed away | L |
| In gentle deference to me | G |
| The Queen of Calvary | G |
| - | |
| Each one salutes me as he goes | N |
| And I my childish plumes | O |
| Lift in bereaved acknowledgment | P |
| Of their unthinking drums | Q |
