Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC CEEC CCCC FGGF EEEE CHHC EIIE J| Spring germs spring germs | A |
| I charge you by your life go back to death | B |
| This glebe is sick this wind is foul of breath | B |
| Stay feed the worms | A |
| - | |
| Oh every clod | C |
| Is faint and falters from the war of growth | D |
| And crumbles in a dreary dust of sloth | D |
| Unploughed untrod | C |
| - | |
| What need what need | C |
| To hide with flowers the curse upon the hills | E |
| Or sanctify the banks of sluggish rills | E |
| Where vapors breed | C |
| - | |
| And if needs must | C |
| Advance O Summer heats upon the land | C |
| And bake the bloody mould to shards and sand | C |
| And dust | C |
| - | |
| Before your birth | F |
| Burn up O Roses with your dainty flame | G |
| Good Violets sweet Violets hide shame | G |
| Below the earth | F |
| - | |
| Ye silent Mills | E |
| Reject the bitter kindness of the moss | E |
| O Farms protest if any tree emboss | E |
| The barren hills | E |
| - | |
| Young Trade is dead | C |
| And swart Work sullen sits in the hillside fern | H |
| And folds his arms that find no bread to earn | H |
| And bows his head | C |
| - | |
| Spring germs spring germs | E |
| Albeit the towns have left you place to play | I |
| I charge you sport not Winter owns to day | I |
| Stay feed the worms | E |
