Fairer far than this fair day | A |
Which like thee to those in sorrow | B |
Comes to bid a sweet good morrow | B |
To the rough year just awake | C |
In its cradle on the brake | C |
The brightest hour of unborn Spring | D |
Through the Winter wandering | D |
Found it seems the halcyon morn | E |
To hoar February born | E |
Bending from Heaven in azure mirth | F |
It kissed the forehead of the earth | F |
And smiled upon the silent sea | G |
And bade the frozen streams be free | G |
And waked to music all their fountains | H |
And breathed upon the frozen mountains | H |
And like a prophetess of May | A |
Strewed flowers upon the barren way | A |
Making the wintry world appear | I |
Like one on whom thou smilest dear | I |
- | |
Away away from men and towns | J |
To the wild wood and the downs | J |
To the silent wilderness | K |
Where the soul need not repress | L |
Its music lest it should not find | M |
An echo in another's mind | M |
While the touch of Nature's art | N |
Harmonizes heart to heart | N |

Radiant Sister of the Day | A |
Awake arise and come away | A |
To the wild woods and the plains | O |
To the pools where winter rains | O |
Image all their roof of leaves | P |
Where the pine its garland weaves | P |
Of sapless green and ivy dun | Q |
Round stems that never kiss the sun | Q |
Where the lawns and pastures be | G |
And the sandhills of the sea | G |
Where the melting hoar frost wets | G |
The daisy star that never sets | G |
And wind flowers and violets | G |
Which yet join not scent to hue | R |
Crown the pale year weak and new | R |
When the night is left behind | M |
In the deep east dim and blind | M |
And the blue noon is over us | G |
And the multitudinous | G |
Billows murmur at our feet | S |
Where the earth and ocean meet | S |
And all things seem only one | Q |
In the universal Sun | Q |
