| - | |
| Oh pleasant exercise of hope and joy | B |
| For mighty were the auxiliars which then stood | C |
| Upon our side we who were strong in love | D |
| Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive | E |
| But to be young was very heaven Oh times | F |
| In which the meagre stale forbidding ways | G |
| Of custom law and statute took at once | H |
| The attraction of a country in romance | I |
| When Reason seemed the most to assert her rights | J |
| When most intent on making of herself | K |
| A prime Enchantress to assist the work | L |
| Which then was going forward in her name | M |
| Not favoured spots alone but the whole earth | N |
| The beauty wore of promise that which sets | O |
| As at some moment might not be unfelt | C |
| Among the bowers of paradise itself | K |
| The budding rose above the rose full blown | P |
| What temper at the prospect did not wake | Q |
| To happiness unthought of The inert | C |
| Were roused and lively natures rapt away | R |
| They who had fed their childhood upon dreams | S |
| The playfellows of fancy who had made | C |
| All powers of swiftness subtilty and strength | T |
| Their ministers who in lordly wise had stirred | C |
| Among the grandest objects of the sense | U |
| And dealt with whatsoever they found there | V |
| As if they had within some lurking right | C |
| To wield it they too who of gentle mood | C |
| Had watched all gentle motions and to these | W |
| Had fitted their own thoughts schemers more mild | C |
| And in the region of their peaceful selves | X |
| Now was it that both found the meek and lofty | C |
| Did both find helpers to their heart's desire | Y |
| And stuff at hand plastic as they could wish | Z |
| Were called upon to exercise their skill | A2 |
| Not in Utopia subterranean fields | B2 |
| Or some secreted island Heaven knows where | V |
| But in the very world which is the world | C |
| Of all of us the place where in the end | C |
| We find our happiness or not at all | C2 |
