In life's first years as on a mother's breast	A
When Nature nurs'd me in her flowery pride	B
I cull'd her bounty such as seemed best	A
And made my garlands by some hedge row side	B
With pleasing eagerness the mind reclaims	C
From black oblivion's shroud such artless scenes	C
And cons the calendar of childish names	C
With simple joy when manhood intervenes	C
	-
From the sweet time that spring's young thrills are born	D
And golden catkins deck the sallow tree	E
Till summer's blue caps blossom mid the corn	D
And autumn's ragwort yellows o'er the lea	E
I roam'd the fields about a happy child	F
And bound my posies up with rushy ties	C
And laugh'd and mutter'd o'er my visions wild	F
Bred in the brain of pleasure's ecstacies	C
	-
Crimp frilled daisy bright bronze buttercup	G
Freckt cowslip peeps gilt whins of morning's dew	H
And hooded arum early sprouting up	G
Ere the white thorn bud half unfolds to view	H
And wan hued lady smocks that love to spring	I
'Side the swamp margin of some plashy pond	J
And all the blooms that early Aprils bring	I
With eager joy each fill'd my playful hand	K
	-
The jaundice tinctur'd primrose sickly sere	L
Mid its broad curled leaves of mellow green	M
Hemm'd in with relics of the 'parted year	L
The mournful wrecks of summers that have been	N
Dead leaves of ash and oak and hazel tree	E
The constant covering of all woody land	K
With tiny violets creeping plenteously	E
That one by one entic'd my patient hand	K
	-
As shadowy April's suns and showers did pass	C
And summer's wild profusions plenteous grew	H
Hiding the spring flowers in long weeds and grass	C
What meads and copses would I wander thro'	H
When on the water op'd the lily buds	C
And fine long purples shadow'd in the lake	O
When purple bugles peeped in the woods	C
'Neath darkest shades that boughs and leaves could make	O
	-
Then did I wear day's many hours away	P
In gathering blooms of seemly sweetest kinds	C
Scrambling for blossoms of the white thorn may	P
Ere they fell victims to unfeeling winds	C
And twisted woodbines and the flusht briar rose	C
How sweet remembrance on the mind doth rise	C
As they bow'd arching where the runnel flows	C
To think how oft I waded for the prize	C
	-
The ragged robins by the spinney lake	O
And flag flower bunches deeper down the flood	Q
And snugly hiding 'neath the feather'd brake	O
Full many a blue bell flower and cuckoo bud	Q
And old man's beard that wreath'd along the hedge	R
Its oddly rude misshapen tawny flowers	C
And prickly burs that crowd the leaves of sedge	R
Have claim'd my pleasing search for hours and hours	C
	-
And down the hay fields wading 'bove the knees	C
Through seas of waving grass what days I've gone	S
Cheating the hopes of many labouring bees	C
By cropping blossoms they were perch'd upon	T
As thyme along the hills and lambtoe knots	C
And the wild stalking Canterbury bell	E
By hedge row side or bushy bordering spots	C
That loves in shade and solitude to dwell	E
	-
And when the summer's swarms half nameless fled	U
And autumn's landscape faded bleak and wild	F
When leaves 'gan fall and show their berries red	U
Still with the season would I be beguil'd	F
Lone spots to seek home leaving far behind	V
Where wildness rears her lings and teazle burs	C
And where last lingering of the flowery kind	V
Blue heath bells tremble 'neath the shelt'ring furze	C
	-
Sweet were such walks on the half barren wild	F
Which ploughs leave quiet with their briars and brakes	C
Prospects of freedom pleasing from a child	F
To track the crook'd path which the rabbit makes	C
On these past times one loves to look behind	V
Nor lives a soul mere trifles as they be	E
But feels a joy in bringing to his mind	V
The wild flower rambles of his infancy	E
	-
Tis sweet to view as in a favour'd book	W
Life's rude beginning page long turned o'er	H
'Tis nature's common feeling back to look	W
On things that pleas'd us when they are no more	H
Pausing on childish scenes a wish repeat	X
Seeming more sweet to value when we're men	Y
As one awaken'd from a vision sweet	X
Wishes to sleep and dream it o'er again	Y
