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 |
I leave this notice on my door | O |
For each accustomed visitor | P |
'I am gone into the fields | Q |
To take what this sweet hour yields | Q |
Reflection you may come to morrow | B |
Sit by the fireside with Sorrow | B |
You with the unpaid bill Despair | R |
You tiresome verse reciter Care | R |
I will pay you in the grave | S |
Death will listen to your stave | S |
Expectation too be off | T |
To day is for itself enough | U |
Hope in pity mock not Woe | B |
With smiles nor follow where I go | B |
Long having lived on thy sweet food | V |
At length I find one moment's good | W |
After long pain with all your love | X |
This you never told me of ' | - |

Radiant Sister of the Day | A |
Awake arise and come away | A |
To the wild woods and the plains | Y |
And the pools where winter rains | Y |
Image all their roof of leaves | Z |
Where the pine its garland weaves | Z |
Of sapless green and ivy dun | A2 |
Round stems that never kiss the sun | A2 |
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 | B2 |
Crown the pale year weak and new | B2 |
When the night is left behind | M |
In the deep east dun and blind | M |
And the blue noon is over us | G |
And the multitudinous | G |
Billows murmur at our feet | C2 |
Where the earth and ocean meet | C2 |
And all things seem only one | A2 |
In the universal sun | A2 |
