ner in the lowest stairA
Of that magnificent temple which doth boundB
One side of our whole vale with grandeur rareA
Sweet garden orchard eminently fairA
The loveliest spot that man hath ever foundB
Farewell we leave thee to Heaven's peaceful careA
Thee and the Cottage which thou dost surroundB
-
Our boat is safely anchored by the shoreC
And there will safely ride when we are goneD
The flowering shrubs that deck our humble doorC
Will prosper though untended and aloneE
Fields goods and far off chattels we have noneF
These narrow bounds contain our private storeC
Of things earth makes and sun doth shine uponG
Here are they in our sight we have no moreC
-
Sunshine and shower be with you bud and bellH
For two months now in vain we shall be soughtI
We leave you here in solitude to dwellH
With these our latest gifts of tender thoughtI
Thou like the morning in thy saffron coatJ
Bright gowan and marsh marigold farewellH
Whom from the borders of the Lake we broughtI
And placed together near our rocky WellH
-
We go for One to whom ye will be dearK
And she will prize this Bower this Indian shedL
Our own contrivance Building without peerK
A gentle Maid whose heart is lowly bredL
Whose pleasures are in wild fields gatheredM
With joyousness and with a thoughtful cheerK
Will come to you to you herself will wedL
And love the blessed life that we lead hereN
-
Dear Spot which we have watched with tender heedO
Bringing thee chosen plants and blossoms blownE
Among the distant mountains flower and weedO
Which thou hast taken to thee as thy ownE
Making all kindness registered and knownE
Thou for our sakes though Nature's child indeedO
Fair in thyself and beautiful aloneE
Hast taken gifts which thou dost little needO
-
And O most constant yet most fickle PlaceP
Thou hast thy wayward moods as thou dost showQ
To them who look not daily on thy faceP
Who being loved in love no bounds dost knowQ
And say'st when we forsake thee 'Let them go '-
Thou easy hearted Thing with thy wild raceP
Of weeds and flowers till we return be slowQ
And travel with the year at a soft paceP
-
Help us to tell Her tales of years gone byR
And this sweet spring the best beloved and bestS
Joy will be flown in its mortalityT
Something must stay to tell us of the restS
Here thronged with primroses the steep rock's breastS
Glittered at evening like a starry skyR
And in this bush our sparrow built her nestS
Of which I sang one song that will not dieR
-
O happy Garden whose seclusion deepU
Hath been so friendly to industrious hoursV
And to soft slumbers that did gently steepU
Our spirits carrying with them dreams of flowersV
And wild notes warbled among leafy bowersV
Two burning months let summer overleapU
And coming back with Her who will be oursV
Into thy bosom we again shall creepU

William Wordsworth
