Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF GHGH IDIDJD DKDL FDFD MNONMN| My Anna summer laughs in mirth | A |
| And we will of the party be | B |
| And leave the crickets in the hearth | C |
| For green fields' merry minstrelsy | D |
| - | |
| I see thee now with little hand | E |
| Catch at each object passing bye | F |
| The happiest thing in all the land | E |
| Except the bee and butterfly | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| And limpid brook that leaps along | G |
| Gilt with the summer's burnished gleam | H |
| Will stop thy little tale or song | G |
| To gaze upon its crimping stream | H |
| - | |
| Thou'lt leave my hand with eager speed | I |
| The new discovered things to see | D |
| The old pond with its water weed | I |
| And danger daring willow tree | D |
| Who leans an ancient invalid | J |
| Oer spots where deepest waters be | D |
| - | |
| In sudden shout and wild surprise | D |
| I hear thy simple wonderment | K |
| As new things meet thy childish eyes | D |
| And wake some innocent intent | L |
| - | |
| As bird or bee or butterfly | F |
| Bounds through the crowd of merry leaves | D |
| And starts the rapture of thine eye | F |
| To run for what it neer achieves | D |
| - | |
| But thou art on the bed of pain | M |
| So tells each poor forsaken toy | N |
| Ah could I see that happy hour | O |
| When these shall be thy heart's employ | N |
| And see thee toddle oer the plain | M |
| And stoop for flowers and shout for joy | N |
