The dear dear witchery of song | A |
I said the poet's idle lore | B |

Consorts with poverty and scorn | C |

I broke the spell nor deemed its power | D |
Could fetter me another hour | D |
Ah thoughtless how could I forget | E |
Its causes were around me yet | E |
For wheresoe'er I looked the while | F |
Was nature's everlasting smile | F |

Still came and lingered on my sight | G |
Of flowers and streams the bloom and light | G |
And glory of the stars and sun | H |
And these and poetry are one | H |
They ere the world had held me long | A |
Recalled me to the love of song | A |
