| Low open meads slender and sluggish streams | B |
| And found a home in haunts which others scorned | C |
| The partial wood gods overpaid my love | D |
| And granted me the freedom of their state | E |
| And in their secret senate have prevailed | F |
| With the dear dangerous lords that rule our life | G |
| Made moon and planets parties to their bond | H |
| And pitying through my solitary wont | I |
| Shot million rays of thought and tenderness | J |
| - | |
| For me in showers in sweeping showers the spring | K |
| Visits the valley break away the clouds | L |
| I bathe in the morn's soft and silvered air | M |
| And loiter willing by yon loitering stream | N |
| Sparrows far off and nearer yonder bird | O |
| Blue coated flying before from tree to tree | P |
| Courageous sing a delicate overture | Q |
| To lead the tardy concert of the year | R |
| Onward and nearer draws the sun of May | S |
| And wide around the marriage of the plants | T |
| Is sweetly solemnized then flows amain | U |
| The surge of summer's beauty dell and crag | K |
| Hollow and lake hill side and pine arcade | V |
| Are touched with genius Yonder ragged cliff | W |
| Has thousand faces in a thousand hours | X |
| - | |
| Here friendly landlords men ineloquent | V |
| Inhabit and subdue the spacious farms | Y |
| Traveller to thee perchance a tedious road | V |
| Or soon forgotten picture to these men | U |
| The landscape is an armory of powers | X |
| Which one by one they know to draw and use | Z |
| They harness beast bird insect to their work | K |
| They prove the virtues of each bed of rock | K |
| And like a chemist 'mid his loaded jars | A2 |
| Draw from each stratum its adapted use | Z |
| To drug their crops or weapon their arts withal | B2 |
| They turn the frost upon their chemic heap | C2 |
| They set the wind to winnow vetch and grain | U |
| They thank the spring flood for its fertile slime | D2 |
| And on cheap summit levels of the snow | U |
| Slide with the sledge to inaccessible woods | E2 |
| O'er meadows bottomless So year by year | R |
| They fight the elements with elements | F2 |
| That one would say meadow and forest walked | V |
| Upright in human shape to rule their like | K |
| And by the order in the field disclose | G2 |
| The order regnant in the yeoman's brain | U |
| - | |
| What these strong masters wrote at large in miles | H2 |
| I followed in small copy in my acre | Q |
| For there's no rood has not a star above it | V |
| The cordial quality of pear or plum | I2 |
| Ascends as gladly in a single tree | P |
| As in broad orchards resonant with bees | J2 |
| And every atom poises for itself | K2 |
| And for the whole The gentle Mother of all | B2 |
| Showed me the lore of colors and of sounds | L2 |
| The innumerable tenements of beauty | P |
| The miracle of generative force | M2 |
| Far reaching concords of astronomy | P |
| Felt in the plants and in the punctual birds | N2 |
| Mainly the linked purpose of the whole | B2 |
| And chiefest prize found I true liberty | P |
| The home of homes plain dealing Nature gave | O2 |
| - | |
| The polite found me impolite the great | V |
| Would mortify me but in vain | U |
| I am a willow of the wilderness | J |
| Loving the wind that bent me All my hurts | P2 |
| My garden spade can heal A woodland walk | K |
| A wild rose or rock loving columbine | U |
| Salve my worst wounds and leave no cicatrice | P2 |
| For thus the wood gods murmured in my ear | Q2 |
| Dost love our manners Canst thou silent lie | B2 |
| Canst thou thy pride forgot like nature pass | P2 |
| Into the winter night's extinguished mood | V |
| Canst thou shine now then darkle | B2 |
| And being latent feel thyself no less | P2 |
| As when the all worshipped moon attracts the eye | B2 |
| The river hill stems foliage are obscure | R2 |
| Yet envies none none are unenviable | B2 |
