Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKLKHH MNMOPQ| Like some wild child that laughs and weeps | A |
| Impatient of its mother's arms | B |
| The wood brook from the hillside leaps | A |
| Eager to reach the neighboring farms | B |
| Complaining crystal in its throat | C |
| It whimpers a protesting note | C |
| - | |
| The wildflowers that the forest weaves | D |
| To deck it with are thrust aside | E |

| Away away no matter where | F |
| - | |
| Ah if it knew what work awaits | G |
| Beyond the woodland's peaceful breast | H |

| What contact with life's sorriest | H |
| A different mind it then might keep | I |
| And hush its frenzy into sleep | I |
| - | |
| Make of its trouble there a pool | J |
| A dim circumference filled with sky | K |
| And trees wherein the beautiful | L |
| Contemplates silence with a sigh | K |
| As mind communicates with mind | H |
| Of intimate things they have in kind | H |
| - | |
| Encircled of the wood's repose | M |
| Contentment then to it would give | N |
| The peace of lily and of rose | M |
| And love of all wild things that live | O |
| And let it serve as looking glass | P |
| For myths and dreams the wildwood has | Q |
