There is a quiet spirit in these woods	A
That dwells where'er the gentle south wind blows	B
Where underneath the white thorn in the glade	C
The wild flowers bloom or kissing the soft air	D
The leaves above their sunny palms outspread	C
With what a tender and impassioned voice	E
It fills the nice and delicate ear of thought	C
When the fast ushering star of morning comes	F
O'er riding the gray hills with golden scarf	G
Or when the cowled and dusky sandalled Eve	H
In mourning weeds from out the western gate	C
Departs with silent pace That spirit moves	I
In the green valley where the silver brook	J
From its full laver pours the white cascade	C
And babbling low amid the tangled woods	A
Slips down through moss grown stones with endless laughter	K
And frequent on the everlasting hills	L
Its feet go forth when it doth wrap itself	M
In all the dark embroidery of the storm	N
And shouts the stern strong wind And here amid	C
The silent majesty of these deep woods	A
lts presence shall uplift thy thoughts from earth	O
As to the sunshine and the pure bright air	D
Their tops the green trees lift Hence gifted bards	A
Have ever loved the calm and quiet shades	A
For them there was an eloquent voice in all	P
The sylvan pomp of woods the golden sun	Q
The flowers the leaves the river on its way	R
Blue skies and silver clouds and gentle winds	A
The swelling upland where the sidelong sun	Q
Aslant the wooded slope at evening goes	A
Groves through whose broken roof the sky looks in	S
Mountain and shattered cliff and sunny vale	T
The distant lake fountains and mighty trees	A
In many a lazy syllable repeating	U
Their old poetic legends to the wind	C
And this is the sweet spirit that doth fill	V
The world and in these wayward days of youth	W
My busy fancy oft embodies it	C
As a bright image of the light and beauty	C
That dwell in nature of the heavenly forms	A
We worship in our dreams and the soft hues	A
That stain the wild bird's wing and flush the clouds	A
When the sun sets Within her tender eye	X
The heaven of April with its changing light	C
And when it wears the blue of May is hung	Y
And on her lip the rich red rose Her hair	D
Is like the summer tresses of the trees	A
When twilight makes them brown and on her cheek	Z
Blushes the richness of an autumn sky	X
With ever shifting beauty Then her breath	A2
It is so like the gentle air of Spring	U
As front the morning's dewy flowers it comes	A
Full of their fragrance that it is a joy	B2
To have it round us and her silver voice	A
Is the rich music of a summer bird	C
Heard in the still night with its passionate cadence	A
