Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHJ KLKL AMAM NONO PQPQ HGHG RSRS ATAU| In this lone open glade I lie | A |
| Screen'd by deep boughs on either hand | B |
| And at its end to stay the eye | A |
| Those black crown'd red boled pine trees stand | B |
| - | |
| Birds here make song each bird has his | C |
| Across the girdling city's hum | D |
| How green under the boughs it is | C |
| How thick the tremulous sheep cries come | D |
| - | |
| Sometimes a child will cross the glade | E |
| To take his nurse his broken toy | F |
| Sometimes a thrush flit overhead | G |
| Deep in her unknown day's employ | F |
| - | |
| Here at my feet what wonders pass | H |
| What endless active life is here | I |
| What blowing daisies fragrant grass | H |
| An air stirr'd forest fresh and clear | J |
| - | |
| Scarce fresher is the mountain sod | K |
| Where the tired angler lies stretch'd out | L |
| And eased of basket and of rod | K |
| Counts his day's spoil the spotted trout | L |
| - | |
| In the huge world which roars hard by | A |
| Be others happy if they can | M |
| But in my helpless cradle I | A |
| Was breathed on by the rural Pan | M |
| - | |
| I on men's impious uproar hurl'd | N |
| Think often as I hear them rave | O |
| That peace has left the upper world | N |
| And now keeps only in the grave | O |
| - | |
| Yet here is peace for ever new | P |
| When I who watch them am away | Q |
| Still all things in this glade go through | P |
| The changes of their quiet day | Q |
| - | |
| Then to their happy rest they pass | H |
| The flowers upclose the birds are fed | G |
| The night comes down upon the grass | H |
| The child sleeps warmly in his bed | G |
| - | |
| Calm soul of all things make it mine | R |
| To feel amid the city's jar | S |
| That there abides a peace of thine | R |
| Man did not make and cannot mar | S |
| - | |
| The will to neither strive nor cry | A |
| The power to feel with others give | T |
| Calm calm me more nor let me die | A |
| Before I have begun to live | U |
