Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE BBGHHG IIDEED EEJKKJ| Down by a shining water well | A |
| I found a very little dell | A |
| No higher than my head | B |
| The heather and the gorse about | C |
| In summer bloom were coming out | C |
| Some yellow and some red | B |
| - | |
| I called the little pool a sea | D |
| The little hills were big to me | D |
| For I am very small | E |
| I made a boat I made a town | F |
| I searched the caverns up and down | F |
| And named them one and all | E |
| - | |
| And all about was mine I said | B |
| The little sparrows overhead | B |
| The little minnows too | G |
| This was the world and I was king | H |
| For me the bees came by to sing | H |
| For me the swallows flew | G |

| I played there were no deeper seas | I |
| Nor any wider plains than these | I |
| Nor other kings than me | D |
| At last I heard my mother call | E |
| Out from the house at evenfall | E |
| To call me home to tea | D |
| - | |
| And I must rise and leave my dell | E |
| And leave my dimpled water well | E |
| And leave my heather blooms | J |
| Alas and as my home I neared | K |
| How very big my nurse appeared | K |
| How great and cool the rooms | J |
