Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBDBDBBB ADEDEFGBFGGB AHIHIJKBJLKBI | A |
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness | B |
Close bosom friend of the maturing sun | C |
Conspiring with him how to load and bless | B |
With fruit the vines that round the thatch eves run | C |
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage trees | B |
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core | D |
To swell the gourd and plump the hazel shells | B |
With a sweet kernel to set budding more | D |
And still more later flowers for the bees | B |
Until they think warm days will never cease | B |
For Summer has o'er brimm'd their clammy cells | B |

II | A |
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store | D |
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find | E |
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor | D |
Thy hair soft lifted by the winnowing wind | E |
Or on a half reap'd furrow sound asleep | F |
Drows'd with the fume of poppies while thy hook | G |
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers | B |
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep | F |
Steady thy laden head across a brook | G |
Or by a cyder press with patient look | G |
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours | B |

III | A |
Where are the songs of Spring Ay where are they | H |
Think not of them thou hast thy music too | I |
While barred clouds bloom the soft dying day | H |
And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue | I |
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn | J |
Among the river sallows borne aloft | K |
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies | B |
And full grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn | J |
Hedge crickets sing and now with treble soft | L |
The red breast whistles from a garden croft | K |
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies | B |
