When breezes are soft and skies are fair	A
I steal an hour from study and care	A
And hie me away to the woodland scene	B
Where wanders the stream with waters of green	B
As if the bright fringe of herbs on its brink	C
Had given their stain to the wave they drink	C
And they whose meadows it murmurs through	D
Have named the stream from its own fair hue	D
	-
Yet pure its waters its shallows are bright	E
With coloured pebbles and sparkles of light	E
And clear the depths where its eddies play	F
And dimples deepen and whirl away	F
And the plane tree's speckled arms o'ershoot	E
The swifter current that mines its root	E
Through whose shifting leaves as you walk the hill	G
The quivering glimmer of sun and rill	G
With a sudden flash on the eye is thrown	H
Like the ray that streams from the diamond stone	H
Oh loveliest there the spring days come	I
With blossoms and birds and wild bees' hum	I
The flowers of summer are fairest there	A
And freshest the breath of the summer air	A
And sweetest the golden autumn day	E
In silence and sunshine glides away	E
	-
Yet fair as thou art thou shunnest to glide	E
Beautiful stream by the village side	E
But windest away from haunts of men	J
To quiet valley and shaded glen	J
And forest and meadow and slope of hill	G
Around thee are lonely lovely and still	G
Lonely save when by thy rippling tides	K
From thicket to thicket the angler glides	K
Or the simpler comes with basket and book	L
For herbs of power on thy banks to look	L
Or haply some idle dreamer like me	M
To wander and muse and gaze on thee	M
Still save the chirp of birds that feed	E
On the river cherry and seedy reed	E
And thy own wild music gushing out	E
With mellow murmur and fairy shout	E
From dawn to the blush of another day	E
Like traveller singing along his way	E
	-
That fairy music I never hear	N
Nor gaze on those waters so green and clear	O
And mark them winding away from sight	E
Darkened with shade or flashing with light	E
While o'er them the vine to its thicket clings	P
And the zephyr stoops to freshen his wings	P
But I wish that fate had left me free	M
To wander these quiet haunts with thee	M
Till the eating cares of earth should depart	E
And the peace of the scene pass into my heart	E
And I envy thy stream as it glides along	Q
Through its beautiful banks in a trance of song	Q
	-
Though forced to drudge for the dregs of men	J
And scrawl strange words with the barbarous pen	J
And mingle among the jostling crowd	E
Where the sons of strife are subtle and loud	E
I often come to this quiet place	R
To breathe the airs that ruffle thy face	R
And gaze upon thee in silent dream	S
For in thy lonely and lovely stream	S
An image of that calm life appears	T
That won my heart in my greener years	T
