| Would that my lips might pour out in thy praise | B |
| A fitting melody an air sublime | C |
| A song sun washed and draped in dreamy haze | B |
| The floss and velvet of luxurious rhyme | C |
| A lay wrought of warm languors and o'er brimmed | D |
| With balminess and fragrance of wild flowers | E |
| Such as the droning bee ne'er wearies of | F |
| Such thoughts as might be hymned | D |
| To thee from this midsummer land of ours | E |
| Through shower and sunshine blent for very love | F |

| Deep silences in woody aisles wherethrough | G |
| Cool paths go loitering and where the trill | H |
| Of best remembered birds hath something new | I |
| In cadence for the hearing lingering still | H |
| Through all the open day that lies beyond | D |
| Reaches of pasture lands vine wreathen oaks | J |
| Majestic still in pathos of decay | K |
| The road the wayside pond | D |
| Wherein the dragonfly an instant soaks | J |
| His filmy wing tips ere he flits away | K |

| And I would pluck from out the dank rich mould | D |
| Thick shaded from the sun of noon the long | L |
| Lithe stalks of barley topped with ruddy gold | D |
| And braid them in the meshes of my song | L |
| And with them I would tangle wheat and rye | - |
| And wisps of greenest grass the katydid | D |
| Ere crept beneath the blades of sulkily | H |
| As harvest hands went by | - |
| And weave of all as wildest fancy bid | D |
| A crown of mingled song and bloom for thee | M |
