Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHG IJIJ KLKM ANAN OPO| With rod and line I took my way | A |
| That led me through the gossip trees | B |
| Where all the forest was asway | A |
| With hurry of the running breeze | B |
| - | |
| I took my hat off to a flower | C |
| That nodded welcome as I passed | D |
| And pelted by a morning shower | C |
| Unto its heart a bee held fast | D |
| - | |
| A head of gold one great weed tossed | E |
| And leaned to look when I went by | F |
| And where the brook the roadway crossed | E |
| The daisy kept on me its eye | F |
| - | |
| And when I stopped to bathe my face | G |
| And seat me at a great tree's foot | H |
| I heard the stream say 'Mark the place | G |
| And undermine it rock and root ' | - |
| - | |
| And o'er the whirling water there | I |
| A dragonfly its shuttle plied | J |
| Where wild a fern let down its hair | I |
| And leaned to see the water's pride | J |
| - | |
| A speckled trout The spotted elf | K |
| Whom I had come so far to see | L |
| Stretched out above a rocky shelf | K |
| A shadow sleeping mockingly | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| And I have sat here half the day | A |
| Regarding it It has not stirred | N |
| I heard the running water say | A |
| 'He does not know the magic word | N |
| - | |
| 'The word that changes everything | O |
| And brings all Nature to his hand | P |
| That makes of this great trout a king | O |
| And opes the way to Faeryland ' | - |
