Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSF TGUVCWIXGYZVYYA2B2C2 JYD2E2F2| Stranger if thou hast learned a truth which needs | A |
| No school of long experience that the world | B |
| Is full of guilt and misery and hast seen | C |
| Enough of all its sorrows crimes and cares | D |
| To tire thee of it enter this wild wood | E |
| And view the haunts of Nature The calm shade | F |
| Shall bring a kindred calm and the sweet breeze | G |
| That makes the green leaves dance shall waft a balm | H |
| To thy sick heart Thou wilt find nothing here | I |
| Of all that pained thee in the haunts of men | J |
| And made thee loathe thy life The primal curse | K |
| Fell it is true upon the unsinning earth | L |
| But not in vengeance God hath yoked to guilt | M |
| Her pale tormentor misery Hence these shades | N |
| Are still the abodes of gladness the thick roof | O |
| Of green and stirring branches is alive | P |
| And musical with birds that sing and sport | Q |
| In wantonness of spirit while below | R |
| The squirrel with raised paws and form erect | S |
| Chirps merrily Throngs of insects in the shade | F |
| Try their thin wings and dance in the warm beam | T |
| That waked them into life Even the green trees | G |
| Partake the deep contentment as they bend | U |
| To the soft winds the sun from the blue sky | V |
| Looks in and sheds a blessing on the scene | C |
| Scarce less the cleft born wild flower seems to enjoy | W |
| Existence than the winged plunderer | I |
| That sucks its sweets The massy rocks themselves | X |
| And the old and ponderous trunks of prostrate trees | G |
| That lead from knoll to knoll a causey rude | Y |
| Or bridge the sunken brook and their dark roots | Z |
| With all their earth upon them twisting high | V |
| Breathe fixed tranquillity The rivulet | Y |
| Sends forth glad sounds and tripping o'er its bed | Y |
| Of pebbly sands or leaping down the rocks | A2 |
| Seems with continuous laughter to rejoice | B2 |
| In its own being Softly tread the marge | C2 |
| Lest from her midway perch thou scare the wren | J |
| That dips her bill in water The cool wind | Y |
| That stirs the stream in play shall come to thee | D2 |
| Like one that loves thee nor will let thee pass | E2 |
| Ungreeted and shall give its light embrace | F2 |
