Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFF DAAAGGHDBBBBIAAFAAJK KGAAAAL| Would you know what joy is hid | A |
| In our green Musketaquid | A |
| And for travelled eyes what charms | B |
| Draw us to these meadow farms | B |
| Come and I will show you all | C |
| Makes each day a festival | D |
| Stand upon this pasture hill | E |
| Face the eastern star until | E |
| The slow eye of heaven shall show | F |
| The world above the world below | F |
| - | |
| Behold the miracle | D |
| Thou saw'st but now the twilight sad | A |
| And stood beneath the firmament | A |
| A watchman in a dark gray tent | A |
| Waiting till God create the earth | G |
| Behold the new majestic birth | G |
| The mottled clouds like scraps of wool | H |
| Steeped in the light are beautiful | D |
| What majestic stillness broods | B |
| Over these colored solitudes | B |
| Sleeps the vast East in pleas d peace | B |
| Up the far mountain walls the streams increase | B |
| Inundating the heaven | I |
| With spouting streams and waves of light | A |
| Which round the floating isles unite | A |
| See the world below | F |
| Baptized with the pure element | A |
| A clear and glorious firmament | A |
| Touched with life by every beam | J |
| I share the good with every flower | K |
| I drink the nectar of the hour | K |
| This is not the ancient earth | G |
| Whereof old chronicles relate | A |
| The tragic tales of crime and fate | A |
| But rather like its beads of dew | A |
| And dew bent violets fresh and new | A |
| An exhalation of the time | L |
