Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEF CGGGH IBJJIHGGF GGGGBBBBKGLGJFFFGMFM FF| O thou my Muse | A |
| Beside the Kentish River running | B |
| Through water meads where dews | A |
| Tossed flashing at thy feet | C |
| And tossing flashed again | D |
| When the timid herd | E |
| By thy swift passing stirred | E |
| Up leapt and ran | F |
| - | |
| Thou that didst fleet | C |
| Thy shadow over dark October hills | G |
| By Aston Weston Saintbury Willersey | G |
| Winchcombe and all the combes and hills | G |
| Of the green lonely land | H |
| - | |
| Thou that in May | I |
| Once when I saw thee sunning | B |
| Thyself so lovely there | J |
| Than the flushed flower more fair | J |
| Fallen from the wild apple spray | I |
| Didst rise and sprinkling sunlight with thy hand | H |
| Shadow like disappear in the deep shadowy hedges | G |
| Between forsaken Buckle Street and the sparse sedges | G |
| Of young twin breasted Honeybourne | F |
| - | |
| O thou my Muse | G |
| Scarce longer seen than the brief hues | G |
| Of winter cloud that flames | G |
| Over the tarnished silver Thames | G |
| So often nearing | B |
| As often disappearing | B |
| With thy body's shadow brushing | B |
| My brain at midnight lightly touching | B |
| O yield thee Muse to me | K |
| No more in dream delights and morn forgettings | G |
| But in a ferny hollow I know well | L |
| And thou know'st well warm proof'd 'gainst the wind's frettings | G |
| Bring thou thyself and there | J |
| In that warm ferny hollow where the sun | F |
| Slants one gold beam and no light else but thine | F |
| And my eyes' happy shine | F |
| There O lovely Muse | G |
| Shall on thy shining body be begot | M |
| Fruit of delights a many mingling in one | F |
| Thy child and mine a lovely shape and thought | M |
| My child and thine | F |
| O Muse divine | F |
