Best and brightest come awayA
Fairer far than this fair dayA
Which like thee to those in sorrowB
Comes to bid a sweet good morrowB
To the rough year just awakeC
In its cradle on the brakeC
The brightest hour of unborn SpringD
Through the Winter wanderingD
Found it seems the halcyon mornE
To hoar February bornE
Bending from Heaven in azure mirthF
It kissed the forehead of the earthF
And smiled upon the silent seaG
And bade the frozen streams be freeG
And waked to music all their fountainsH
And breathed upon the frozen mountainsH
And like a prophetess of MayA
Strewed flowers upon the barren wayA
Making the wintry world appearI
Like one on whom thou smilest dearI
-
Away away from men and townsJ
To the wild wood and the downsJ
To the silent wildernessK
Where the soul need not repressL
Its music lest it should not findM
An echo in another's mindM
While the touch of Nature's artN
Harmonizes heart to heartN
-
Radiant Sister of the DayA
Awake arise and come awayA
To the wild woods and the plainsO
To the pools where winter rainsO
Image all their roof of leavesP
Where the pine its garland weavesP
Of sapless green and ivy dunQ
Round stems that never kiss the sunQ
Where the lawns and pastures beG
And the sandhills of the seaG
Where the melting hoar frost wetsG
The daisy star that never setsG
And wind flowers and violetsG
Which yet join not scent to hueR
Crown the pale year weak and newR
When the night is left behindM
In the deep east dim and blindM
And the blue noon is over usG
And the multitudinousG
Billows murmur at our feetS
Where the earth and ocean meetS
And all things seem only oneQ
In the universal SunQ
