| Is none that with the little Wren's | B |
| In snugness may compare | A |
| - | |
| No door the tenement requires | B |
| And seldom needs a laboured roof | C |
| Yet is it to the fiercest sun | D |
| Impervious and storm proof | C |
| - | |
| So warm so beautiful withal | E |
| In perfect fitness for its aim | F |
| That to the Kind by special grace | B |
| Their instinct surely came | F |
| - | |
| And when for their abodes they seek | G |
| An opportune recess | B |
| The hermit has no finer eye | H |
| For shadowy quietness | B |
| - | |
| These find 'mid ivied abbey walls | B |
| A canopy in some still nook | I |
| Others are pent housed by a brae | J |
| That overhangs a brook | I |
| - | |
| There to the brooding bird her mate | K |
| Warbles by fits his low clear song | L |
| And by the busy streamlet both | M |
| Are sung to all day long | L |
| - | |
| Or in sequestered lanes they build | N |
| Where till the flitting bird's return | O |
| Her eggs within the nest repose | B |
| Like relics in an urn | O |
| - | |
| But still where general choice is good | P |
| There is a better and a best | Q |
| And among fairest objects some | R |
| Are fairer than the rest | Q |
| - | |
| This one of those small builders proved | S |
| In a green covert where from out | T |
| The forehead of a pollard oak | U |
| The leafy antlers sprout | T |
| - | |
| For She who planned the mossy lodge | V |
| Mistrusting her evasive skill | E |
| Had to a Primrose looked for aid | W |
| Her wishes to fulfill | E |
| - | |
| High on the trunk's projecting brow | X |
| And fixed an infant's span above | Y |
| The budding flowers peeped forth the nest | Q |
| The prettiest of the grove | Z |
| - | |
| The treasure proudly did I show | A2 |
| To some whose minds without disdain | B2 |
| Can turn to little things but once | B |
| Looked up for it in vain | B2 |
| - | |
| 'Tis gone a ruthless spoiler's prey | J |
| Who heeds not beauty love or song | L |
| 'Tis gone so seemed it and we grieved | C2 |
| Indignant at the wrong | L |
| - | |
| Just three days after passing by | H |
| In clearer light the moss built cell | E |
| I saw espied its shaded mouth | D2 |
| And felt that all was well | E |
| - | |
| The Primrose for a veil had spread | E2 |
| The largest of her upright leaves | B |
| And thus for purposes benign | F2 |
| A simple flower deceives | B |
| - | |
| Concealed from friends who might disturb | G2 |
| Thy quiet with no ill intent | H2 |
| Secure from evil eyes and hands | B |
| On barbarous plunder bent | H2 |
| - | |
| Rest Mother bird and when thy young | I2 |
| Take flight and thou art free to roam | J2 |
| When withered is the guardian Flower | K2 |
| And empty thy late home | J2 |
| - | |
| Think how ye prospered thou and thine | F2 |
| Amid the unviolated grove | Z |
| Housed near the growing Primrose tuft | L2 |
| In foresight or in love | Y |
