Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG IJJI IKKI LIIL IIII| The daisy now is out upon the green | A |
| And in the grassy lanes | B |
| The child of April rains | B |
| The sweet fresh hearted violet is smelt and loved unseen | A |
| - | |
| Along the brooks and meads the daffodil | C |
| Its yellow richness spreads | D |
| And by the fountain heads | D |
| Of rivers cowslips cluster round and over every hill | C |
| - | |
| The crocus and the primrose may have gone | E |
| The snowdrop may be low | F |
| But soon the purple glow | F |
| Of hyacinths will fill the copse and lilies watch the dawn | E |
| - | |
| And in the sweetness of the budding year | G |
| The cuckoo's woodland call | H |
| The skylark over all | H |
| And then at eve the nightingale is doubly sweet and dear | G |
| - | |
| My soul is singing with the happy birds | I |
| And all my human powers | J |
| Are blooming with the flowers | J |
| My foot is on the fields and downs among the flocks and herds | I |
| - | |
| Deep in the forest where the foliage droops | I |
| I wander fill'd with joy | K |
| Again as when a boy | K |
| The sunny vistas tempt me on with dim delicious hopes | I |
| - | |
| The sunny vistas dim with hurrying shade | L |
| And old romantic haze | I |
| Again as in past days | I |
| The spirit of immortal Spring doth every sense pervade | L |
| - | |
| Oh do not say that this will ever cease | I |
| This joy of woods and fields | I |
| This youth that nature yields | I |
| Will never speak to me in vain tho' soundly rapt in peace | I |
