Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDAEEA FFGHHG DDCIJC KKJLLI| The prim daisy's golden eye | A |
| On the fallow land doth lie | A |
| Though the Spring is just begun | B |
| Pewits watch it all the day | C |
| And the skylark's nest of hay | C |
| Is there by its dried leaves in the sun | B |
| - | |
| There the pilewort all in gold | D |
| 'Neath the ridge of finest mould | D |
| Blooms to cheer the ploughman's eye | A |
| There the mouse his hole hath made | E |
| And 'neath the golden shade | E |
| Hides secure when the hawk is prowling by | A |
| - | |
| Here's the speedwell's sapphire blue | F |
| Was there anything more true | F |
| To the vernal season still | G |
| Here it decks the bank alone | H |
| Where the milkmaid throws a stone | H |
| At noon to cross the rapid flooded rill | G |
| - | |
| Here the cowslip chill with cold | D |
| On the rushy bed behold | D |
| It looks for sunshine all the day | C |
| Here the honey bee will come | I |
| For he has no sweets at home | J |
| Then quake his weary wing and fly away | C |
| - | |
| And here are nameless flowers | K |
| Culled in cold and rawky hours | K |
| For my Mary's happy home | J |
| They grew in murky blea | L |
| Rush fields and naked lea | L |
| But suns will shine and pleasing Spring will come | I |
