Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPOQ RSTUVKWXYZA2OB2 C2D2E2F2G2SOH2I2J2| I love old earth Why should I lift my wings | A |
| My misty wings so high above her breast | B |
| That flowers would shake no perfumes from their hearts | C |
| And waters breathe no whispers to the shores | D |
| I love deep places builded high with woods | E |
| Deep dusk fern closed and starred with nodding blooms | F |
| Close watched by hills green garlanded and tall | G |
| - | |
| On hazy wings all shot with mellow gold | H |
| I float I float thro' shadows clear as glass | I |
| With perfumed feet I wander o'er the seas | J |
| And touch white sails with gentle finger tips | K |
| I blow the faithless butterfly against | L |
| The rose red thorn and thus avenge the rose | M |
| I whisper low amid the solemn boughs | N |
| And stir a leaf where not my loudest sigh | O |
| Could move the emerald branches from their calm | P |
| Leaves leaves I love ye much for ye and I | O |
| Do make sweet music over all the earth | Q |
| - | |
| I dream by glassy ponds and lingering kiss | R |
| The gold crowns of their lilies one by one | S |
| As mothers kiss their babes who be asleep | T |
| On the clear gilding of their infant heads | U |
| Lest if they kissed the dimple on the chin | V |
| The rose flecks on the cheek or dewy lips | K |
| The calm of sleep might feel the touch of love | W |
| And so be lost I steal before the rain | X |
| The longed for guest of summer as his fringe | Y |
| Of mist drifts slowly from the mountain peaks | Z |
| The flowers dance to my fairy pipe and fling | A2 |
| Rich odours on my wings and voices cry | O |
| 'The dear West Wind is damp and rich with scent | B2 |
| We shall have fruits and yellow sheaves for this ' | - |
| - | |
| At night I play amidst the silver mists | C2 |
| And chase them on soft feet until they climb | D2 |
| And dance their gilded plumes against the stars | E2 |
| At dawn the last round primrose star I hide | F2 |
| By wafting o'er her some small fleck of cloud | G2 |
| And ere it passes comes the broad bold Sun | S |
| And blots her from the azure of the sky | O |
| As later toward his noon he blots a drop | H2 |
| Of pollen gilded dew from violet cup | I2 |
| Set bluely in the mosses of the wood | J2 |
