| Push back the brambles berry blue | B |
| The hollowed spring is full in view | B |
| Deep tangled with luxuriant fern | C |
| Its rock imbedded crystal urn | C |
| - | |
| Not for the loneliness that keeps | A |
| The coigne wherein its silence sleeps | A |
| Not for wild butterflies that sway | D |
| Their pansy pinions all the day | D |
| Above its mirror nor the bee | E |
| Nor dragon fly which passing see | E |
| Themselves reflected in its spar | F |
| Not for the one white liquid star | F |
| That twinkles in its firmament | D |
| Nor moon shot clouds so slowly sent | D |
| Athwart it when the kindly night | D |
| Beads all its grasses with the light | D |
| Small jewels of the dimpled dew | D |
| Not for the day's reflected blue | D |
| Nor the quaint dainty colored stones | A |
| That dance within it where it moans | A |
| Not for all these I love to sit | D |
| In silence and to gaze in it | D |
| But know a nymph with merry eyes | A |
| Meets mine within its laughing skies | A |
| A graceful naked nymph who plays | A |
| All the long fragrant summer days | A |
| With instant sight of bees and birds | A |
| And speaks with them in water words | A |
| One for whose nakedness the air | G |
| Weaves moony mists and on whose hair | G |
| Unfilleted the night will set | D |
| That lone star as a coronet | D |
