Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIJKLML NOLO PQRNSLTL UTVTWXYX| 'Twas summer through the opening grass | A |
| The joyous flowers upsprang | B |
| The birds in all their different tribes | C |
| Loud in the woodlands sang | B |
| Then forth I went and wandered far | D |
| The wide green meadow o'er | E |
| Where cool and clear the fountain play'd | F |
| There strayed I in that hour | E |
| - | |
| Roaming on the nightingale | G |
| Sang sweetly in my ear | H |
| And by the greenwood's shady side | I |
| A dream came to me there | J |
| Fast by the fountain where bright flowers | K |
| Of sparkling hue we see | L |
| Close sheltered from the summer heat | M |
| That vision came to me | L |
| - | |
| All care was banished and repose | N |
| Came o'er my wearied breast | O |
| And kingdoms seemed to wait on me | L |
| For I was with the blest | O |
| - | |
| Yet while it seemed as if away | P |
| My spirit soared on high | Q |
| And in the boundless joys of heaven | R |
| Was wrapt in ecstacy | N |
| E'en then my body revelled still | S |
| In earth's festivity | L |
| And surely never was a dream | T |
| So sweet as this to me | L |
| - | |
| Thus I dream'd on and might have dwelt | U |
| Still on that rapturous dream | T |
| When hark a raven's luckless note | V |
| Sooth 'twas a direful scream | T |
| Broke up the vision of delight | W |
| Instant my joy was past | X |
| O had a stone but met my hand | Y |
| That hour had been his last | X |
