The rosy day was sweet and young	A
The clod brown lark that hail'd the morn	B
Had just her summer anthem sung	A
And trembling dropped in the corn	B
The dew rais'd flower was perk and proud	C
The butterfly around it play'd	D
The sky's blue clear save woolly cloud	C
That pass'd the sun without a shade	D
	-
On the pismire's castle hill	E
While the burnet buttons quak'd	D
While beside the stone pav'd rill	E
Cowslip bunches nodding shak'd	D
Bees in every peep did try	F
Great had been the honey shower	G
Soon their load was on their thigh	F
Yellow dust as fine as flour	G
	-
Brazen magpies fond of clack	H
Full of insolence and pride	D
Chattering on the donkey's back	H
Perch'd and pull'd his shaggy hide	D
Odd crows settled on the path	I
Dames from milking trotting home	J
Said the sign foreboded wrath	I
And shook their heads at ills to come	K
	-
While cows restless from the ground	D
Plung'd into the stream and drank	L
And the rings went whirling round	D
Till they touch'd the flaggy bank	L
On the arch's wall I knelt	D
Curious as I often did	D
To see the words the sculpture spelt	D
But the moss its letters hid	D
	-
Labour sought the water cool	M
And stretching took a hearty sup	N
The fish were playing in the pool	M
And turn'd their milk white bellies up	N
Clothes laid down behind a bush	O
Boys were wading near the path	I
Deeply did the maiden blush	P
As she pass'd the merry bath	I
	-
Some with lines the fish to catch	Q
Quirking boys let loose from school	M
Others side the hedge row watch	R
Where the linnet took the wool	S
'Tending Hodge had slept too fast	D
While his cattle stray'd abroad	D
Swift the freed horse gallop'd past	D
Pattering down the stony road	D
	-
The gipsies' tune was loud and strong	T
As round the camp they danc'd a jig	U
And much I lov'd the brown girl's song	T
While list'ning on the wooden brig	U
The shepherd he was on his rounds	V
The dog stopt short to lap the stream	W
And jingling in the fallow grounds	V
The ploughman urg'd his reeking team	W
	-
Often did I stop to gaze	X
On each spot once dear to me	Y
Known 'mong those remember'd days	X
Of banish'd happy infancy	Y
Often did I view the shade	D
Where once a nest my eyes did fill	E
And often mark'd the place I play'd	D
At roly poly down the hill	E
	-
In the wood's deep shade did stand	D
As I pass'd the sticking troop	Z
And Goody begg'd a helping hand	D
To heave her rotten faggot up	N
The riding gate sharp jerking round	D
Follow'd fast my heels again	A2
While echo mock'd the clapping sound	D
And clap clap sang the woods amain	A2
	-
The wood is sweet I love it well	B2
In spending there my leisure hours	C2
To seek the snail its painted shell	B2
And look about for curious flowers	C2
Or 'neath the hazel's leafy thatch	Q
On a stulp or mossy ground	D
Little squirrel's gambols watch	R
Dancing oak trees round and round	D
	-
Green was the shade I love the woods	D2
When autumn's wind is mourning loud	D
To see the leaves float on the floods	E2
Dead within their yellow shroud	D
The wood was then in glory spread	D
I love the browning bough to see	Y
That litters autumn's dying bed	D
Her latest sigh is dear to me	Y
	-
'Neath a spreading shady oak	F2
For awhile to muse I lay	G2
From its grains a bough I broke	F2
To fan the teasing flies away	G2
Then I sought the woodland side	D
Cool the breeze my face did meet	D
And the shade the sun did hide	D
Though 'twas hot it seemed sweet	D
	-
And as while I clomb the hill	E
Many a distant charm I found	D
Pausing on the lagging mill	E
That scarcely mov'd its sails around	D
Hanging o'er a gate or stile	H2
Till my curious eye did tire	G
Leisure was employ'd awhile	H2
Counting many a peeping spire	I2
	-
While the hot sun 'gan to wane	A2
Cooling glooms fast deep'ning still	E
Refreshing greenness spread the plain	A2
As black clouds crept the southern hill	E
Labour sought a sheltering place	J2
'Neath some thick wood woven bower	G
While odd rain drops damp'd his face	J2
Heralds of the coming shower	G
	-
Where the oak plank cross'd the stream	W
Which the early rising lass	K2
Climbs with milk pail gathering cream	W
Crook'd paths tracking through the grass	K2
There where willows hang their boughs	L2
Briars and blackthorns form'd a bower	G
Stunted thick by sheep and cows	L2
There I stood to shun the shower	G
	-
Sweet it was to feel the breeze	M2
Blowing cool without the sun	A2
Bumming gad flies ceas'd to teaze	M2
All seem'd glad the shower to shun	A2
Sweet it was to mark the flower	G
Rain drops glist'ning on its head	D
Perking up beneath the bower	G
As if rising from the dead	D
	-
And full sweet it was to look	N2
How clouds misted o'er the hill	E
Rain drops how they dimp'd the brook	N2
Falling fast and faster still	E
While the gudgeons darting by	F
Cring'd 'neath water grasses' shade	D
Startling as each nimble eye	F
Saw the rings the dropples made	D
	-
And upon the dripping ground	D
As the shower had ceas'd again	A2
As the eye was wandering round	D
Trifling troubles caus'd a pain	A2
Overtaken in the shower	G
Bumble bees I wander'd by	F
Clinging to The drowking flower	G
Left without the power to fly	F
	-
And full often drowning wet	D
Scampering beetles rac'd away	G2
Safer shelter glad to get	D
Flooded out from whence they lay	G2
While the moth for night's reprief	F
Waited safe and snug withal	G2
'Neath the plantain's bowery leaf	F
Where not e'en a drop could fall	G2
	-
Then the clouds dispers'd again	A2
And full sweet it was to view	F
Sunbeams trembling long in vain	A2
Now they 'gan to glimmer through	F
And as labour strength regains	M2
From ale's booning bounty given	A2
So reviv'd the fresh'ning plains	M2
From the smiling showers of heaven	A2
	-
Sweet the birds did chant their songs	M2
Blackbird linnet lark and thrush	P
Music from a many tongues	M2
Melted from each dripping bush	O
Deafen'd echo on the plain	A2
As the sunbeams broke the cloud	D
Scarce could help repeat the strain	A2
Nature's anthem flow'd so loud	D
	-
What a fresh'ning feeling came	O2
As the sun's smile gleam'd again	A2
Summer seem'd no more the same	O2
Such a mildness swept the plain	A2
Breezes such as one would seek	P2
Cooling infants of the shower	G
Fanning sweet the burning cheek	P2
Trembled through the bramble bower	G
	-
Insects of mysterious birth	Q2
Sudden struck my wondering sight	D
Doubtless brought by moisture forth	R2
Hid in knots of spittle white	D
Backs of leaves the burthen bear	S2
Where the sunbeams cannot stray	G2
Wood seers call'd that wet declare	S2
So the knowing shepherds say	G2
	-
As the cart rut rippled down	A2
With the burden of the rain	A2
Boys came drabbling from the town	A2
Glad to meet their sports again	A2
Stopping up the mimic rills	G2
Till they forc'd their frothy bound	D
Then the keck made water mills	G2
In the current whisk'd around	D
	-
Once again did memory pain	A2
O'er the life she once had led	D
Once did manhood wish again	A2
Childish joys had never fled	D
Could I lay these woes aside	D
Which I long have murmur'd o'er	G
Mix a boy with boys I sigh'd	D
Fate should then be teas'd no more	T2
	-
Hot the sun in summer warms	G2
Quick the roads dry o'er the plain	A2
Girls with baskets on their arms	G2
Soon renew'd their sports again	A2
O'er the green they sought their play	G2
Where the cowslip bunches grew	F
Quick the rush bent fann'd away	G2
As they danc'd and bounded through	F
	-
Some went searching by the wood	D
Peeping 'neath the weaving thorn	A2
Where the pouch lipp'd cuckoo bud	D
From its snug retreat was torn	A2
Where the ragged robin stood	D
With its pip'd stem streak'd with jet	D
And the crow flowers golden hued	D
Careless plenty easier met	D
	-
Some with many an anxious pain	A2
Childish wishes to pursue	F
From the pond head gaz'd in vain	A2
On the flag flower's yellow hue	F
Smiling in its safety there	S2
Sleeping o'er its shadow'd bloom	U2
While the flood's triumphing care	S2
Crimpled round its guarded home	J
	-
Then I stood to pause again	A2
Retrospection sigh'd and smil'd	D
Musing 'tween a joy and pain	A2
How I acted when a child	D
When by clearing brooks I've been	A2
Where the painted sky was given	A2
Thinking if I tumbled in	A2
I should fall direct to heaven	A2
	-
Many an hour had come and gone	A2
Since the town last met my eye	F
Where huge baskets mauling on	A2
Maids hung out their clothes to dry	F
Granny there was on the bench	V2
Coolly sitting in the swail	G2
Stopping oft a love sick wench	V2
To pinch her snuff and hear her tale	G2
	-
Be the journey e'er so mean	A2
Passing by a cot or tree	Y
In the rout there's something seen	A2
Which the curious love to see	Y
In each ramble taste's warm souls	G2
More of wisdom's self can view	F
Than blind ignorance beholds	G2
All life's seven stages through	F
