Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HAHA IJIJ KLKL MNMN OPOP| When the warm sun that brings | A |
| Seed time and harvest has returned again | B |
| 'Tis sweet to visit the still wood where springs | A |
| The first flower of the plain | C |
| - | |
| I love the season well | D |
| When forest glades are teeming with bright forms | E |
| Nor dark and many folded clouds foretell | D |
| The coming on of storms | E |
| - | |
| From the earth's loosened mould | F |
| The sapling draws its sustenance and thrives | G |
| Though stricken to the heart with winter's cold | F |
| The drooping tree revives | G |
| - | |
| The softly warbled song | H |
| Comes from the pleasant woods and coloured wings | A |
| Glance quick in the bright sun that moves along | H |
| The forest openings | A |
| - | |
| When the bright sunset fills | I |
| The silver woods with light the green slope throws | J |
| Its shadows in the hollows of the hills | I |
| And wide the upland glows | J |
| - | |
| And when the eve is born | K |
| In the blue lake the sky o'er reaching far | L |
| Is hollowed out and the moon dips her horn | K |
| And twinkles many a star | L |
| - | |
| Inverted in the tide | M |
| Stand the grey rooks and trembling shadows throw | N |
| And the fair trees look over side by side | M |
| And see themselves below | N |
| - | |
| Sweet April many a thought | O |
| Is wedded unto thee as hearts are wed | P |
| Nor shall they fail till to its autumn brought | O |
| Life's golden fruit is shed | P |
