| Swelling within me a shoot from the heart of Spring | B |
| As I walk the ample teeming street | C |
| This tranquil and misty morn | A |
| What is it to me you sing | B |
| - | |
| My body warm my brain clear | D |
| Unreasoning joy possesses my soul complete | C |
| The keen air mettles my blood | E |
| And the pavement rings to my feet | C |
| - | |
| O houses erect and vast O steeples proud | F |
| That soar serenely aloof | G |
| Vistas of railing and roof | G |
| Dim seen in the delicate shroud of the frosty air | H |
| You are built but of shadow and cloud | F |
| I will come with the wind and blow | I |
| You shall melt to be seen no longer O phantoms fair | H |
| Embattled city trampler of dreams | J |
| So long deluding thou shalt delude no more | K |
| The trembling heart thou haughtily spurnest | F |
| But thou from a dream art sprung | L |
| From a far off vision of yore | K |
| To a dream to a dream returnest | F |
| Time the tarrier | K |
| Time the unshunnable | I |
| Stealing with patient rivers the mountainous lands | M |
| Or in turbulent fire upheaving | L |
| Who shifts for ever the sands | M |
| Who gently breaks the unbreakable barrier | K |
| Year upon year into broadening silence weaving | L |
| Time O mighty and mightily peopled city | F |
| Time is busy with thee | F |
| Behold the tall tower moulders in air | K |
| The staunch beam crumbles to earth | N |
| Pinnacles falter and fall | I |
| And the immemorial wall | I |
| Melts as a cloud is melted under the sun | O |
| Nor these alone but alas | P |
| Things of diviner birth | N |
| Glories of men and women strong and fair | K |
| They too alas perpetually undone | O |
| As the green apparition of leaves | Q |
| Buds out in the smile of May | R |
| As the red leaf smoulders away | R |
| That frozen Earth receives | Q |
| In all thy happy in all thy desolate places | S |
| They spring they glide | F |
| Unnumbered blooming and fading faces | S |
| O what shall abide | F |
| - | |
| Aching desire mutinous longing | L |
| Love the divine rebel the challenge of all | I |
| Faith that the doubters doubted and wept her fall | I |
| To an empty sepulchre thronging | L |
| These the sap of the earth | N |
| Irresistibly sprung | L |
| In the blood of heroes running sweet | F |
| In the dream of the dreamers ever young | L |
| Supplanting the solid and vast delusions | T |
| Hearten the heart of the wronged to endure defeat | F |
| The forward gazing eyes of the old sustain | U |
| Mighty in perishing youth and in endless birth | N |
| These remain | U |
