Sweetest of all delights are the vainest merest	A
Hours when breath is joy for the breathing's sake	B
Summer awoke this morning and early awake	B
I rose refreshed and gladly my eyes saluted	C
The entering beam of the sun that laughed his clearest	D
I too laughed for pleasure and vowed straightway	E
To stream and sun the flower of an idle day	F
With summer sweetly enjoyed and friends well suited	C
	-
Merry were we as stepping aboard we laid	G
The shaven oars in order merry the leap	H
Of the oar that grasped the water and stirred from sleep	H
A wave to tremble past us in foamy rings	I
With rhyming fall and with bright returning blade	G
Impetuous music urges the rippling keel	J
Softly our necks the flow of the breezes feel	J
And blue and thronged with birds the morning sings	I
	-
And lo the elms in a day reclothed and gleaming	K
In delicate youth above us stir their leaves	L
The eye to naked winter used receives	L
A magic pleasure and still the shore we follow	M
Winding in flowery meadows freshly streaming	K
The river meets us ever from fields unknown	N
As light we travel his curving mirror lone	N
No longer I envy you O frolic swallow	M
	-
Till moored at noon by shadowy turf and ended	C
Awhile that pleasant toil what relish keen	O
At ease to lie amid flowers with rustling green	O
O'ershaded there reclined by a bubbling pool	P
The rushing weir in murmur and foam blended	C
Entrancing ear and eye caresses the brain	Q
With smooth perpetual sound the lulling strain	Q
Of water weariless poured and glittering cool	P
	-
O then refreshed in the level light serene	O
Our boat re entering her prow homeward turned	R
How soft we glided soft as evening burned	R
Through drooping leaves our liquid furrow stirred	S
The dim green heights of the elm reflected green	O
In shadowy water at last the dreaming shore	T
From its own enchanted mirror we know no more	T
Softly we glided downward and spoke no word	S
	-
Nor took we land till the West in a blush was dying	K
And over the twilit meadow we loitered home	U
Even now in my ear is rushing the constant foam	U
And the dappled stream is alight with the wind's laughter	V
As I taste in the cool of the darkness dreamily lying	K
The sun yet warm upon limbs that sweetly ache	B
Drowsed deliciously still I linger awake	B
Only to keep my delight and to look not after	V
