| From twig to twig the spider weaves | B |
| At noon his webbing fine | C |
| So near to mute the zephyrs flute | D |
| That only leaflets dance | E |
| The sun draws out of hazel leaves | B |
| A smell of woodland wine | C |
| I wake a swarm to sudden storm | F |
| At any step's advance | E |

| Along my path is bugloss blue | G |
| The star with fruit in moss | H |
| The foxgloves drop from throat to top | I |
| A daily lesser bell | J |
| The blackest shadow nurse of dew | G |
| Has orange skeins across | H |
| And keenly red is one thin thread | K |
| That flashing seems to swell | J |

| My world I note ere fancy comes | L |
| Minutest hushed observe | M |
| What busy bits of motioned wits | N |
| Through antlered mosswork strive | O |
| But now so low the stillness hums | L |
| My springs of seeing swerve | M |
| For half a wink to thrill and think | P |
| The woods with nymphs alive | O |

| I neighbour the invisible | Q |
| So close that my consent | R |
| Is only asked for spirits masked | S |
| To leap from trees and flowers | T |
| And this because with them I dwell | J |
| In thought while calmly bent | R |
| To read the lines dear Earth designs | U |
| Shall speak her life on ours | T |

| Accept she says it is not hard | V |
| In woods but she in towns | W |
| Repeats accept and have we wept | X |
| And have we quailed with fears | Y |
| Or shrunk with horrors sure reward | Z |
| We have whom knowledge crowns | W |
| Who see in mould the rose unfold | A2 |
| The soul through blood and tears | B2 |
