Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGFFHIJJKK KKAALLMM| Thus the Mayne glideth | A |
| Where my Love abideth | A |
| Sleep 's no softer it proceeds | B |
| On through lawns on through meads | B |
| On and on whate'er befall | C |
| Meandering and musical | D |
| Though the niggard pasturage | E |
| Bears not on its shaven ledge | E |
| Aught but weeds and waving grasses | F |
| To view the river as it passes | F |
| Save here and there a scanty patch | G |
| Of primroses too faint to catch | G |
| A weary bee And scarce it pushes | F |
| Its gentle way through strangling rushes | F |
| Where the glossy kingfisher | H |
| Flutters when noon heats are near | I |
| Glad the shelving banks to shun | J |
| Red and steaming in the sun | J |
| Where the shrew mouse with pale throat | K |
| Burrows and the speckled stoat | K |
| Where the quick sandpipers flit | K |
| In and out the marl and grit | K |
| That seems to breed them brown as they | A |
| Naught disturbs its quiet way | A |
| Save some lazy stork that springs | L |
| Trailing it with legs and wings | L |
| Whom the shy fox from the hill | M |
| Rouses creep he ne'er so still | M |
