Rhyme Scheme: AABBAABBAC DDDAEAEFGFG HAHAIJIJKKK AAAALLAAAAAMMM| Hark how the merry daffodils | A |
| Fling golden music to the hills | A |
| And how the hills send echoing down | B |
| Through wind swept turf and moorland brown | B |
| The murmurs of a thousand rills | A |
| That mock the song birds' liquid trills | A |
| The hedge released from Winter's frown | B |
| Shews jewelled branch and willow crown | B |
| While all the earth with pleasure trills | A |
| And 'dances with the daffodils ' | C |
| - | |
| Out out ye flowers Up and shout | D |
| Staid Winter's passed and Spring's about | D |
| To lead your ranks in joyous rout | D |
| To string the hawthorn's milky pearls | A |
| And gild the grass with celandine | E |
| To dress the catkins' tasselled curls | A |
| To twist the tendrils of the vine | E |
| She wakes the wind flower from her sleep | F |
| And lights the woods with April's moon | G |
| The violets lift their heads to peep | F |
| The daisies brave the sun at noon | G |
| - | |
| The gentle wind from out the west | H |
| Toys with the lilac pretty maids | A |
| Ruffles the meadow's verdant vest | H |
| And rings the bluebells in the glades | A |
| The ash buds change their sombre suit | I |
| The orchards blossom white and red | J |
| Promise of Autumn's riper fruit | I |
| When Spring's voluptuousness has fled | J |
| Awake awake O throstle sweet | K |
| And haste with all your choir to greet | K |
| This Queen who comes with wakening feet | K |
| - | |
| Persephone with grateful eyes | A |
| Salutes the Sun 'tis Paradise | A |
| Then hastens down the dewy meads | A |
| Past where the herd contented feeds | A |
| Past where the furrows hide the grain | L |
| For harvesting of sun and rain | L |
| To where Demeter patient stands | A |
| With longing lips and outstretched hands | A |
| Until the dawning of one face | A |
| Across the void of time and space | A |
| Shall bring again her day of grace | A |
| Rejoice O Earth Rejoice and sing | M |
| This is the promise of the Spring | M |
| And this the world's remembering | M |
