Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAA BCCBBC CDDEEE EEEEEE AAAAAA FCCFFC GCCGGC AHHAAAH FCCFFCAA| 'Mid the waving Woods of Wytham | A |
| Now so far so far from me | A |
| Where the grand old beeches be | A |
| And the deer herds feeding by them | A |
| 'Mid the mossy Woods of Wytham | A |
| Oft I roam in memory | A |
| - | |
| Down the grand wide arching alleys | B |
| Marged by plumy ferns and flowers | C |
| Whence all through the noontide hours | C |
| Many a fearless leveret sallies | B |
| For amid those grassy alleys | B |
| Never hound nor huntsman scours | C |
| - | |
| Still I see through leafy casements | C |
| Wytham Hall so quaint and old | D |
| Remnant of the age of gold | D |
| Gabled o'er from roof to basement | E |
| In most fanciful enlacement | E |
| Looking far o'er wood and wold | E |
| - | |
| With the mere outspread before it | E |
| Whitest swans upon its tide | E |
| That in mystic beauty glide | E |
| And the wild fowl flapping o'er it | E |
| To the reeds that broadly shore it | E |
| Spear like on the sunny side | E |
| - | |
| Through the waving Woods of Wytham | A |
| Now so far so far from me | A |
| Where I roam in memory | A |
| 'Mid the leaves or flashing by them | A |
| Like sunshine to glorify them | A |
| On my sunless heart gleams she | A |
| - | |
| Falling like the dreams of summer | F |
| Making holy all the place | C |
| Visions of that sweet pale face | C |
| Sweeter than all dreams of summer | F |
| Dearer than all dreams of summer | F |
| Still in bower and glade I trace | C |
| - | |
| Still her eyes come deeply glowing | G |
| Through the leafy lattices | C |
| And the rustle of the trees | C |
| 'Neath the west wind softly blowing | G |
| Only emulates the flowing | G |
| Of her love toned melodies | C |
| - | |
| Oh those waving Woods of Wytham | A |
| Ceased she thus to hover near | H |
| Radiant from her happy sphere | H |
| Like sunshine to glorify them | A |
| Never would I wander nigh them | A |
| Madly weeping should I fly them | A |
| Till their memory e'en grew sere | H |
| - | |
| But ah no in endless slimmer | F |
| Roams my heart through Wytham Woods | C |
| Meeting in their solitudes | C |
| Evermore that angel comer | F |
| Sweeter than the light of summer | F |
| Making golden Wytham Woods | C |
| Now so far so far from me | A |
| In the world of Memory | A |
