Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHHHHIIJJ KKHHLMHHHHNO| The gentlest Shade that walked Elysian plains | A |
| Might sometimes covet dissoluble chains | A |
| Even for the tenants of the zone that lies | B |
| Beyond the stars celestial Paradise | C |
| Methinks 'twould heighten joy to overleap | D |
| At will the crystal battlements and peep | D |
| Into some other region though less fair | E |
| To see how things are made and managed there | E |
| Change for the worse might please incursion bold | F |
| Into the tracts of darkness and of cold | F |
| O'er Limbo lake with aery flight to steer | G |
| And on the verge of Chaos hang in fear | G |
| Such animation often do I find | H |
| Power in my breast wings growing in my mind | H |
| Then when some rock or hill is overpast | H |
| Perhance without one look behind me cast | H |
| Some barrier with which Nature from the birth | I |
| Of things has fenced this fairest spot on earth | I |
| O pleasant transit Grasmere to resign | J |
| Such happy fields abodes so calm as thine | J |
| Not like an outcast with himself at strife | K |
| The slave of business time or care for life | K |
| But moved by choice or if constrained in part | H |
| Yet still with Nature's freedom at the heart | H |
| To cull contentment upon wildest shores | L |
| And luxuries extract from bleakest moors | M |
| With prompt embrace all beauty to enfold | H |
| And having rights in all that we behold | H |
| Then why these lingering steps A bright adieu | H |
| For a brief absence proves that love is true | H |
| Ne'er can the way be irksome or forlorn | N |
| That winds into itself for sweet return | O |
William Wordsworth
