Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCDEBAEBFFGG HIIHHJJ KLKLMLKNOK PPQRRSPPTQT RUUURVARVA| Behold the blossom bosomed Day again | A |
| With all the star white Hours in her train | B |
| Laughs out of pearl lights through a golden ray | C |
| That leaning on the woodland wildness blends | D |
| A sprinkled amber with the showers that lay | C |
| Their oblong emeralds on the leafy ends | D |
| Behold her bend with maiden braided brows | E |
| Above the wildflower sidewise with its strain | B |
| Of dewy happiness to kiss again | A |
| Each drop to death or under rainy boughs | E |
| With fingers fragrant as the woodland rain | B |
| Gather the sparkles from the sycamore | F |
| To set within each core | F |
| Of crimson roses girdling her hips | G |
| Where each bud dreams and drips | G |
| - | |
| Smoothing her blue black hair where many a tusk | H |
| Of iris flashes like the falchions' sheen | I |
| Of Faery 'round blue banners of its Queen | I |
| Is it a Naiad singing in the dusk | H |
| That haunts the spring where all the moss is musk | H |
| With footsteps of the flowers on the banks | J |
| Or just a wild bird voluble with thanks | J |
| - | |
| Balm for each blade of grass the Hours prepare | K |
| A festival each weed's invited to | L |
| Each bee is drunken with the honied air | K |
| And all the air is eloquent with blue | L |
| The wet hay glitters and the harvester | M |
| Tinkles his scythe as twinkling as the dew | L |
| That shall not spare | K |
| Blossom or brier in its sweeping path | N |
| And ere it cut one swath | O |
| Rings them they die and tells them to prepare | K |
| - | |
| What is the spice that haunts each glen and glade | P |
| A Dryad's lips who slumbers in the shade | P |
| A Faun who lets the heavy ivy wreath | Q |
| Slip to his thigh as reaching up he pulls | R |
| The chestnut blossoms in whole bosomfuls | R |
| A sylvan Spirit whose sweet mouth doth breathe | S |
| Her viewless presence near us unafraid | P |
| Or troops of ghosts of blooms that whitely wade | P |
| The brook whose wisdom knows no other song | T |
| Than that the bird sings where it builds beneath | Q |
| The wild rose and sits singing all day long | T |
| - | |
| Oh let me sit with silence for a space | R |
| A little while forgetting that fierce part | U |
| Of man that struggles in the toiling mart | U |
| Where God can look into my heart's own heart | U |
| From unsoiled heights made amiable with grace | R |
| And where the sermons that the old oaks keep | V |
| Can steal into me And what better then | A |
| Than turning to the moss a quiet face | R |
| To fall asleep a little while to sleep | V |
| And dream of wiser worlds and wiser men | A |
