Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI JKJK LMLM NKNK OPOO OOOO QRQR| IT LIES amongst the sleeping stones | A |
| Far down the hidden mountain glade | B |
| And past its brink the torrent moans | A |
| For ever in a dreamy shade | B |
| - | |
| A little patch of dark green moss | C |
| Whose softness grew of quiet ways | D |
| With all its deep delicious floss | E |
| In slumb rous suns of summer days | D |
| - | |
| You know the place With pleasant tints | F |
| The broken sunset lights the bowers | G |
| And then the woods are full with hints | F |
| Of distant dear voluptuous flowers | G |
| - | |
| Tis often now the pilgrim turns | H |
| A faded face towards that seat | I |
| And cools his brow amongst the ferns | H |
| The runnel dabbling at his feet | I |
| - | |
| There fierce December seldom goes | J |
| With scorching step and dust and drouth | K |
| But soft and low October blows | J |
| Sweet odours from her dewy mouth | K |
| - | |
| And Autumn like a gipsy bold | L |
| Doth gather near it grapes and grain | M |
| Ere Winter comes the woodman old | L |
| To lop the leaves in wind and rain | M |
| - | |
| O greenest moss of mountain glen | N |
| The face of Rose is known to thee | K |
| But we shall never share with men | N |
| A knowledge dear to love and me | K |
| - | |
| For are they not between us saved | O |
| The words my darling used to say | P |
| What time the western waters laved | O |
| The forehead of the fainting day | O |
| - | |
| Cool comfort had we on your breast | O |
| While yet the fervid noon burned mute | O |
| O er barley field and barren crest | O |
| And leagues of gardens flushed with fruit | O |
| - | |
| Oh sweet and low we whispered so | Q |
| And sucked the pulp of plum and peach | R |
| But it was many years ago | Q |
| When each you know was loved of each | R |
