When yellow lock'd and crystal ey'd	A
I dream'd green woods among	B
Where tall trees wav'd from side to side	A
And in their green breasts deep and wide	A
I saw the building blue jay hide	A
O then the earth was young	B
	-
The winds were fresh and brave and bold	C
The red sun round and strong	D
No prophet voice chill loud and cold	C
Across my woodland dreamings roll'd	C
The green earth waxeth sere and old	C
That once was fair and young	B
	-
I saw in scarr'd and knotty bole	E
The fresh'ning of the sap	F
When timid spring gave first small dole	E
Of sunbeams thro' bare boughs that stole	E
I saw the bright'ning blossoms roll	E
From summer's high pil'd lap	F
	-
And where an ancient oak tree lay	G
The forest stream across	H
I mus'd above the sweet shrill spray	G
I watch'd the speckl'd trout at play	G
I saw the shadows dance and sway	G
On ripple and on moss	H
	-
I pull'd the chestnut branches low	I
As o'er the stream they hung	B
To see their bursting buds of snow	I
I heard the sweet spring waters flow	I
My heart and I we did not know	I
But that the earth was young	B
	-
I joy'd in solemn woods to see	J
Where sudden sunbeams clung	B
On open space of mossy lea	J
The violet and anemone	K
Wave their frail heads and beckon me	J
Sure then the earth was young	B
	-
I heard the fresh wild breezes birr	L
New budded boughs among	B
I saw the deeper tinting stir	L
In the green tassels of the fir	L
I heard the pheasant rise and whirr	L
Above her callow young	B
	-
I saw the tall fresh ferns prest	M
By scudding doe and fawn	N
I say the grey dove's swelling breast	M
Above the margin of her nest	M
When north and south and east and west	M
Roll'd all the red of dawn	N
	-
At eventide at length I lay	G
On grassy pillow flung	B
I saw the parting bark of day	G
With crimson sails and shrouds all gay	G
With golden fires drift away	G
The billowy clouds among	B
	-
I saw the stately planets sail	O
On that blue ocean wide	A
I saw blown by some mystic gale	O
Like silver ship in elfin tale	O
That bore some damsel rare and pale	O
The moon's slim crescent glide	A
	-
And ev'ry throb of spring	P
The rust'ling boughs among	B
That filled the silver vein of brook	Q
That lit with bloom the mossy nook	Q
Cried to my boyish bosom Look	Q
How fresh the earth and young	B
	-
The winds were fresh the days as clear	L
As crystals set in gold	C
No shape with prophet mantle drear	L
Thro' those old woods came drifting near	L
To whisper in my wond'ring ear	L
The green earth waxeth old	C
