Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFH IJKJ LMLM NBNB LOLO PIQI RSRS TUTU VKVI| A little while a little while | A |
| The weary task is put away | B |
| And I can sing and I can smile | A |
| Alike while I have holiday | B |
| - | |
| Why wilt thou go my harassed heart | C |
| What thought what scene invites thee now | D |
| What spot or near or far | E |
| Has rest for thee my weary brow | D |
| - | |
| There is a spot mid barren hills | F |
| Where winter howls and driving rain | G |
| But if the dreary tempest chills | F |
| There is a light that warms again | H |
| - | |
| The house is old the trees are bare | I |
| Moonless above bends twilight's dome | J |
| But what on earth is half so dear | K |
| So longed for as the hearth of home | J |
| - | |
| The mute bird sitting on the stone | L |
| The dank moss dripping from the wall | M |
| The thorn trees gaunt the walks o'ergrown | L |
| I love them how I love them all | M |
| - | |
| Still as I mused the naked room | N |
| The alien firelight died away | B |
| And from the midst of cheerless gloom | N |
| I passed to bright unclouded day | B |
| - | |
| A little and a lone green lane | L |
| That opened on a common wide | O |
| A distant dreamy dim blue chain | L |
| Of mountains circling every side | O |
| - | |
| A heaven so clear an earth so calm | P |
| So sweet so soft so hushed an air | I |
| And deepening still the dream like charm | Q |
| Wild moor sheep feeding everywhere | I |
| - | |
| That was the scene I knew it well | R |
| I knew the turfy pathway's sweep | S |
| That winding o'er each billowy swell | R |
| Marked out the tracks of wandering sheep | S |
| - | |
| Could I have lingered but an hour | T |
| It well had paid a week of toil | U |
| But Truth has banished Fancy's power | T |
| Restraint and heavy task recoil | U |
| - | |
| Even as I stood with raptured eye | V |
| Absorbed in bliss so deep and dear | K |
| My hour of rest had fleeted by | V |
| And back came labour bondage care | I |
