Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIJI KLK MNON| The beauty of the day put joy | A |
| Unbounded in the woodland's breast | B |
| Through which the wind like some wild boy | A |
| Ran on and took no rest | B |
| - | |
| The little stream that made its home | C |
| Under the spicewood bough and beech | D |
| Hummed to its heart a song of foam | C |
| Or with the moss held speech | D |
| - | |
| And he whose heart was weighed with tears | E |
| And who had come to seek a dream | F |
| For a dim while forgot his fears | G |
| Hearkening the wind and stream | F |
| - | |
| The wind for him assumed a form | H |
| A child's with wildflowers in its hair | I |
| It seemed to take him by the arm | J |
| To lead him far from care | I |
| - | |
| The streamlet raised a hand of spray | K |
| By every rock and waved him on | L |
| Whispering 'Come take this wildwood way | K |
| And find your dream long gone ' | - |
| - | |
| And he who heard and followed these | M |
| Came on a secret place apart | N |
| And there behold the dream of peace | O |
| He found in his own heart | N |
