Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGG HIJIKLKLMM CNONKPKPQR| I saw her crop a rose | A |
| Right early in the day | B |
| And I went to kiss the place | C |
| Where she broke the rose away | B |
| And I saw the patten rings | D |
| Where she o'er the stile had gone | E |
| And I love all other things | D |
| Her bright eyes look upon | F |
| If she looks upon the hedge or up the leafing tree | G |
| The whitethorn or the brown oak are made dearer things to me | G |
| - | |
| I have a pleasant hill | H |
| Which I sit upon for hours | I |
| Where she cropt some sprigs of thyme | J |
| And other little flowers | I |
| And she muttered as she did it | K |
| As does beauty in a dream | L |
| And I loved her when she hid it | K |
| On her breast so like to cream | L |
| Near the brown mole on her neck that to me a diamond shone | M |
| Then my eye was like to fire and my heart was like to stone | M |
| - | |
| There is a small green place | C |
| Where cowslips early curled | N |
| Which on Sabbath day I traced | O |
| The dearest in the world | N |
| A little oak spreads o'er it | K |
| And throws a shadow round | P |
| A green sward close before it | K |
| The greenest ever found | P |
| There is not a woodland nigh nor is there a green grove | Q |
| Yet stood the fair maid nigh me and told me all her love | R |
