Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEEFF BGHGIIBBJK KLMLNNOOKK KBKBBBPPFF| Down in a shaded garden | A |
| I laid upon earth my head | B |
| The deep trees murmured darkly fresh | C |
| Over my bed | B |
| I looked through living leaves to the sky | D |
| Odours and songs were quivering nigh | D |
| The warm grass touched my cheek as I lay | E |
| And care from me was far away | E |
| As a child to its mother to Earth I drew | F |
| I felt her true | F |
| - | |
| Of Life sweet Life enamoured | B |
| I closed my eyes to feel | G |
| The sweetness pierce to the inmost veins | H |
| And the whole heart steal | G |
| Sacred Life more sweet and fair | I |
| Than all her children of earth and air | I |
| Fountain dearer than joy in the breast | B |
| In the blue I adored in the grass I caressed | B |
| Then Earth my mother leaned to my ear | J |
| And spoke me clear | K |
| - | |
| To thee the rose her odour | K |
| Her glory dedicates | L |
| And thee the pink's sweet budded fringe | M |
| Of snow awaits | L |
| For thee is the sprinkled fire of the broom | N |
| For thee the azalea burns her bloom | N |
| O child does thy heart not tell thee how | O |
| Thy joy is answered from every bough | O |
| In the throat of the bird in the sap of the tree | K |
| 'Tis all for thee | K |
| - | |
| Stricken with joy and wonder | K |
| I raised my eyes around | B |
| And saw what mystery flowered for me | K |
| In that enchanted ground | B |
| The roses the roses rich entwined | B |
| Heavy with love to me inclined | B |
| Yearning up from the dusk of death | P |
| They trembled toward me with living breath | P |
| O none that loved me is dead I knew | F |
| And each is true | F |
