Dearest best and brightestA
Come awayB
To the woods and to the fieldsC
Dearer than this fairest dayB
Which like thee to those in sorrowD
Comes to bid a sweet good morrowD
To the rough Year just awakeE
In its cradle in the brakeE
The eldest of the Hours of SpringF
Into the Winter wanderingF
Looks upon the leafless woodG
And the banks all bare and rudeH
Found it seems this halcyon MornI
In February s bosom bornI
Bending from Heaven in azure mirthJ
Kissed the cold forehead of the EarthJ
And smiled upon the silent seaK
And bade the frozen streams be freeK
And waked to music all the fountainsL
And breathed upon the rigid mountainsL
And made the wintry world appearM
Like one on whom thou smilest DearM
-
Radiant Sister of the DayB
Awake arise and come awayB
To the wild woods and the plainsN
To the pools where winter rainsN
Image all the roof of leavesO
Where the pine its garland weavesO
Sapless gray and ivy dunP
Round stems that never kiss the sunP
To the sandhills of the seaK
Where the earliest violets beK
-
Now the last day of many daysQ
All beautiful and bright as thouR
The loveliest and the last is deadS
Rise Memory and write its praiseQ
And do thy wonted work and traceT
The epitaph of glory fledS
For now the Earth has changed its faceT
A frown is on the Heaven s browR
-
We wandered to the Pine ForestA
That skirts the Ocean's foamU
The lightest wind was in its nestV
The tempest in its homeU
-
The whispering waves were half asleepW
The clouds were gone to playB
And on the woods and on the deepW
The smile of Heaven layB
-
It seemed as if the day were oneP
Sent from beyond the skiesX
Which shed to earth above the sunP
A light of ParadiseY
-
We paused amid the pines that stoodG
The giants of the wasteZ
Tortured by storms to shapes as rudeH
With stems like serpents interlacedZ
-
How calm it was the silence thereA2
By such a chain was boundB2
That even the busy woodpeckerC2
Made stiller by her soundB2
-
The inviolable quietnessD2
The breath of peace we drewE2
With its soft motion made not lessF2
The calm that round us grewE2
-
It seemed that from the remotest seatG2
Of the white mountain's wasteZ
To the bright flower beneath our feetG2
A magic circle tracedZ
-
A spirit interfused aroundB2
A thinking silent lifeH2
To momentary peace it boundB2
Our mortal nature s strifeH2
-
And still it seemed the centre ofI2
The magic circle thereA2
Was one whose being filled with loveI2
The breathless atmosphereM
-
Were not the crocuses that grewE2
Under that ilex treeK
As beautiful in scent and hueE2
As ever fed the beeK
-
We stood beneath the pools that lieJ2
Under the forest boughR
And each seemed like a skyJ2
Gulfed in a world belowD
-
A purple firmament of lightK2
Which in the dark earth layB
More boundless than the depth of nightK2
And clearer than the dayB
-
In which the massy forests grewE2
As in the upper airA2
More perfect both in shape and hueE2
Than any waving thereA2
-
Like one beloved the scene had lentL2
To the dark water's breastV
Its every leaf and lineamentV
With that clear truth expressedV
-
There lay far glades and neighbouring lawnM2
And through the dark green crowdV
The white sun twinkling like the dawnM2
Under a speckled cloudV
-
Sweet views which in our world aboveI2
Can never well be seenN2
Were imaged by the water's loveI2
Of that fair forest greenN2
-
And all was interfused beneathO2
With an Elysian airA2
An atmosphere without a breathP2
A silence sleeping thereA2
-
Until a wandering wind crept byJ2
Like an unwelcome thoughtV
Which from my mind's too faithful eyeJ2
Blots thy bright image outV
-
For thou art good and dear and kindV
The forest ever greenN2
But less of peace in S 's mindV
Than calm in waters seenN2
