Now swarthy Summer by rude health embrowned	A
Precedence takes of rosy fingered Spring	B
And laughing Joy with wild flowers prank'd and crown'd	A
A wild and giddy thing	B
And Health robust from every care unbound	A
Come on the zephyr's wing	B
And cheer the toiling clown	C
	-
Happy as holiday enjoying face	D
Loud tongued and merry as a marriage bell	E
Thy lightsome step sheds joy in every place	D
And where the troubled dwell	E
Thy witching charms wean them of half their cares	F
And from thy sunny spell	E
They greet joy unawares	F
	-
Then with thy sultry locks all loose and rude	A
And mantle laced with gems of garish light	A
Come as of wont for I would fain intrude	A
And in the world's despite	A
Share the rude wealth that thy own heart beguiles	F
If haply so I might	A
Win pleasure from thy smiles	F
	-
Me not the noise of brawling pleasure cheers	F
In nightly revels or in city streets	F
But joys which soothe and not distract the ears	F
That one at leisure meets	F
In the green woods and meadows summer shorn	G
Or fields where bee fly greets	F
The ear with mellow horn	G
	-
The green swathed grasshopper on treble pipe	H
Sings there and dances in mad hearted pranks	F
There bees go courting every flower that's ripe	H
On baulks and sunny banks	F
And droning dragon fly on rude bassoon	I
Attempts to give God thanks	F
In no discordant tune	I
	-
The speckled thrush by self delight embued	A
There sings unto himself for joy's amends	F
And drinks the honey dew of solitude	A
There Happiness attends	F
With inbred Joy until the heart o'erflow	E
Of which the world's rude friends	F
Nought heeding nothing know	J
	-
There the gay river laughing as it goes	F
Plashes with easy wave its flaggy sides	F
And to the calm of heart in calmness shows	F
What pleasure there abides	F
To trace its sedgy banks from trouble free	K
Spots Solitude provides	F
To muse and happy be	K
	-
There ruminating 'neath some pleasant bush	L
On sweet silk grass I stretch me at mine ease	F
Where I can pillow on the yielding rush	M
And acting as I please	F
Drop into pleasant dreams or musing lie	E
Mark the wind shaken trees	F
And cloud betravelled sky	E
	-
There think me how some barter joy for care	N
And waste life's summer health in riot rude	A
Of nature nor of nature's sweets aware	N
When passions vain intrude	A
These by calm musings softened are and still	E
And the heart's better mood	A
Feels sick of doing ill	E
	-
There I can live and at my leisure seek	O
Joys far from cold restraints not fearing pride	A
Free as the winds that breathe upon my cheek	O
Rude health so long denied	A
Here poor Integrity can sit at ease	F
And list self satisfied	A
The song of honey bees	F
	-
The green lane now I traverse where it goes	F
Nought guessing till some sudden turn espies	F
Rude batter'd finger post that stooping shows	F
Where the snug mystery lies	F
And then a mossy spire with ivy crown	C
Cheers up the short surprise	F
And shows a peeping town	C
	-
I see the wild flowers in their summer morn	G
Of beauty feeding on joy's luscious hours	F
The gay convolvulus wreathing round the thorn	G
Agape for honey showers	F
And slender kingcup burnished with the dew	A
Of morning's early hours	F
Like gold yminted new	A
	-
And mark by rustic bridge o'er shallow stream	P
Cow tending boy to toil unreconciled	A
Absorbed as in some vagrant summer dream	P
Who now in gestures wild	A
Starts dancing to his shadow on the wall	E
Feeling self gratified	A
Nor fearing human thrall	E
	-
Or thread the sunny valley laced with streams	F
Or forests rude and the o'ershadow'd brims	F
Of simple ponds where idle shepherd dreams	F
Stretching his listless limbs	F
Or trace hay scented meadows smooth and long	Q
Where joy's wild impulse swims	F
In one continued song	Q
	-
I love at early morn from new mown swath	R
To see the startled frog his route pursue	F
To mark while leaping o'er the dripping path	S
His bright sides scatter dew	F
The early lark that from its bustle flies	F
To hail his matin new	F
And watch him to the skies	F
	-
To note on hedgerow baulks in moisture sprent	F
The jetty snail creep from the mossy thorn	G
With earnest heed and tremulous intent	F
Frail brother of the morn	G
That from the tiny bent's dew misted leaves	F
Withdraws his timid horn	G
And fearful vision weaves	F
	-
Or swallow heed on smoke tanned chimney top	T
Wont to be first unsealing Morning's eye	E
Ere yet the bee hath gleaned one wayward drop	T
Of honey on his thigh	E
To see him seek morn's airy couch to sing	B
Until the golden sky	E
Bepaint his russet wing	B
	-
Or sauntering boy by tanning corn to spy	E
With clapping noise to startle birds away	U
And hear him bawl to every passer by	E
To know the hour of day	U
While the uncradled breezes fresh and strong	Q
With waking blossoms play	U
And breathe olian song	Q
	-
I love the south west wind or low or loud	F
And not the less when sudden drops of rain	V
Moisten my glowing cheek from ebon cloud	F
Threatening soft showers again	W
That over lands new ploughed and meadow grounds	F
Summer's sweet breath unchain	W
And wake harmonious sounds	F
	-
Rich music breathes in Summer's every sound	F
And in her harmony of varied greens	F
Woods meadows hedge rows corn fields all around	F
Much beauty intervenes	F
Filling with harmony the ear and eye	E
While o'er the mingling scenes	F
Far spreads the laughing sky	E
	-
See how the wind enamoured aspen leaves	F
Turn up their silver lining to the sun	W
And hark the rustling noise that oft deceives	F
And makes the sheep boy run	W
The sound so mimics fast approaching showers	F
He thinks the rain's begun	W
And hastes to sheltering bowers	F
	-
But now the evening curdles dank and grey	U
Changing her watchet hue for sombre weed	F
And moping owls to close the lids of day	U
On drowsy wing proceed	F
While chickering crickets tremulous and long	Q
Light's farewell inly heed	F
And give it parting song	Q
	-
The pranking bat its flighty circlet makes	F
The glow worm burnishes its lamp anew	W
O'er meadows dew besprent the beetle wakes	F
Inquiries ever new	W
Teazing each passing ear with murmurs vain	W
As wanting to pursue	W
His homeward path again	W
	-
Hark 'tis the melody of distant bells	F
That on the wind with pleasing hum rebounds	F
By fitful starts then musically swells	F
O'er the dim stilly grounds	F
While on the meadow bridge the pausing boy	X
Listens the mellow sounds	F
And hums in vacant joy	X
	-
Now homeward bound the hedger bundles round	F
His evening faggot and with every stride	F
His leathern doublet leaves a rustling sound	F
Till silly sheep beside	F
His path start tremulous and once again	W
Look back dissatisfied	F
And scour the dewy plain	W
	-
How sweet the soothing calmness that distills	F
O'er the heart's every sense its opiate dews	F
In meek eyed moods and ever balmy trills	F
That softens and subdues	F
With gentle Quiet's bland and sober train	W
Which dreamy eve renews	F
In many a mellow strain	W
	-
I love to walk the fields they are to me	K
A legacy no evil can destroy	X
They like a spell set every rapture free	K
That cheer'd me when a boy	X
Play pastime all Time's blotting pen conceal'd	F
Comes like a new born joy	X
To greet me in the field	F
	-
For Nature's objects ever harmonize	F
With emulous Taste that vulgar deed annoys	F
Which loves in pensive moods to sympathize	F
And meet vibrating joys	F
O'er Nature's pleasing things nor slighting deems	F
Pastimes the Muse employs	F
Vain and obtrusive themes	F
