O dwellers in the stately towns	A
What come ye out to see	B
This common earth this common sky	C
This water flowing free	B
	-
As gayly as these kalmia flowers	D
Your door yard blossoms spring	E
As sweetly as these wild wood birds	F
Your caged minstrels sing	E
	-
You find but common bloom and green	G
The rippling river's rune	H
The beauty which is everywhere	I
Beneath the skies of June	H
	-
The Hawkswood oaks the storm torn plumes	J
Of old pine forest kings	K
Beneath whose century woven shade	L
Deer Island's mistress sings	K
	-
And here are pictured Artichoke	M
And Curson's bowery mill	N
And Pleasant Valley smiles between	G
The river and the hill	N
	-
You know full well these banks of bloom	O
The upland's wavy line	P
And how the sunshine tips with fire	Q
The needles of the pine	P
	-
Yet like some old remembered psalm	R
Or sweet familiar face	S
Not less because of commonness	S
You love the day and place	S
	-
And not in vain in this soft air	I
Shall hard strung nerves relax	S
Not all in vain the o'erworn brain	T
Forego its daily tax	S
	-
The lust of power the greed of gain	T
Have all the year their own	U
The haunting demons well may let	V
Our one bright day alone	U
	-
Unheeded let the newsboy call	W
Aside the ledger lay	X
The world will keep its treadmill step	Y
Though we fall out to day	X
	-
The truants of life's weary school	Z
Without excuse from thrift	A2
We change for once the gains of toil	B2
For God's unpurchased gift	A2
	-
From ceiled rooms from silent books	S
From crowded car and town	C2
Dear Mother Earth upon thy lap	D2
We lay our tired heads down	C2
	-
Cool summer wind our heated brows	S
Blue river through the green	G
Of clustering pines refresh the eyes	S
Which all too much have seen	G
	-
For us these pleasant woodland ways	S
Are thronged with memories old	E2
Have felt the grasp of friendly hands	S
And heard love's story told	E2
	-
A sacred presence overbroods	S
The earth whereon we meet	F2
These winding forest paths are trod	G2
By more than mortal feet	F2
	-
Old friends called from us by the voice	S
Which they alone could hear	H2
From mystery to mystery	B
From life to life draw near	I2
	-
More closely for the sake of them	J2
Each other's hands we press	S
Our voices take from them a tone	U
Of deeper tenderness	S
	-
Our joy is theirs their trust is ours	S
Alike below above	K2
Or here or there about us fold	E2
The arms of one great love	K2
	-
We ask to day no countersign	U
No party names we own	U
Unlabelled individual	L2
We bring ourselves alone	U
	-
What cares the unconventioned wood	M2
For pass words of the town	U
The sound of fashion's shibboleth	N2
The laughing waters drown	U
	-
Here cant forgets his dreary tone	U
And care his face forlorn	U
The liberal air and sunshine laugh	O2
The bigot's zeal to scorn	U
	-
From manhood's weary shoulder falls	S
His load of selfish cares	S
And woman takes her rights as flowers	S
And brooks and birds take theirs	S
	-
The license of the happy woods	S
The brook's release are ours	S
The freedom of the unshamed wind	P2
Among the glad eyed flowers	S
	-
Yet here no evil thought finds place	S
Nor foot profane comes in	U
Our grove like that of Samothrace	S
Is set apart from sin	U
	-
We walk on holy ground above	K2
A sky more holy smiles	S
The chant of the beatitudes	S
Swells down these leafy aisles	S
	-
Thanks to the gracious Providence	S
That brings us here once more	Q2
For memories of the good behind	P2
And hopes of good before	Q2
	-
And if unknown to us sweet days	S
Of June like this must come	R2
Unseen of us these laurels clothe	S2
The river banks with bloom	O
	-
And these green paths must soon be trod	G2
By other feet than ours	S
Full long may annual pilgrims come	R2
To keep the Feast of Flowers	S
	-
The matron be a girl once more	Q2
The bearded man a boy	T2
And we in heaven's eternal June	U
Be glad for earthly joy	T2
