Rhyme Scheme: ABBABA CDDCEC FGGFGF HIIHJH HKKHKHDown through the woods along the way | A |
That fords the stream by rock and tree | B |
Where in the bramble bell the bee | B |
Swings and through twilights green and gray | A |
The red bird flashes suddenly | B |
My thoughts went wandering to day | A |

I found the fields where row on row | C |
The blackberries hang black with fruit | D |
Where nesting at the elder's root | D |
The partridge whistles soft and low | C |
The fields that billow to the foot | E |
Of those old hills we used to know | C |
- | |
There lay the pond still willow bound | F |
On whose bright surface when the hot | G |
Noon burnt above we chased the knot | G |
Of water spiders while around | F |
Our heads like bits of rainbow shot | G |
The dragonflies without a sound | F |
- | |
The pond above which evening bent | H |
To gaze upon her rosy face | I |
Wherein the twinkling night would place | I |
A vague inverted firmament | H |
In which the green frogs tuned their bass | J |
And firefly sparkles came and went | H |
- | |
The oldtime woods we often ranged | H |
When we were playmates you and I | K |
The oldtime fields with boyhood's sky | K |
Still blue above them Naught was changed | H |
Nothing Alas then tell me why | K |
Should we be whom long years estranged | H |
