Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCB DDBBEEB FFGGHHG IJBBHHB| WHEN loud by landside streamlets gush | A |
| And clear in the greenwood quires the thrush | A |
| With sun on the meadows | B |
| And songs in the shadows | B |
| Comes again to me | C |
| The gift of the tongues of the lea | C |
| The gift of the tongues of meadows | B |
| - | |
| Straightway my olden heart returns | D |
| And dances with the dancing burns | D |
| It sings with the sparrows | B |
| To the rain and the grimy barrows | B |
| Sings my heart aloud | E |
| To the silver bellied cloud | E |
| To the silver rainy arrows | B |
| - | |
| It bears the song of the skylark down | F |
| And it hears the singing of the town | F |
| And youth on the highways | G |
| And lovers in byways | G |
| Follows and sees | H |
| And hearkens the song of the leas | H |
| And sings the songs of the highways | G |
| - | |
| So when the earth is alive with gods | I |
| And the lusty ploughman breaks the sod | J |
| And the grass sings in the meadows | B |
| And the flowers smile in the shadows | B |
| Sits my heart at ease | H |
| Hearing the song of the leas | H |
| Singing the songs of the meadows | B |
