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
I leave this notice on my doorO
For each accustomed visitorP
'I am gone into the fieldsQ
To take what this sweet hour yieldsQ
Reflection you may come to morrowB
Sit by the fireside with SorrowB
You with the unpaid bill DespairR
You tiresome verse reciter CareR
I will pay you in the graveS
Death will listen to your staveS
Expectation too be offT
To day is for itself enoughU
Hope in pity mock not WoeB
With smiles nor follow where I goB
Long having lived on thy sweet foodV
At length I find one moment's goodW
After long pain with all your loveX
This you never told me of '-
-
Radiant Sister of the DayA
Awake arise and come awayA
To the wild woods and the plainsY
And the pools where winter rainsY
Image all their roof of leavesZ
Where the pine its garland weavesZ
Of sapless green and ivy dunA2
Round stems that never kiss the sunA2
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 hueB2
Crown the pale year weak and newB2
When the night is left behindM
In the deep east dun and blindM
And the blue noon is over usG
And the multitudinousG
Billows murmur at our feetC2
Where the earth and ocean meetC2
And all things seem only oneA2
In the universal sunA2
