It seems a dayA
I speak of one from many singled outB
One of those heavenly days that cannot dieC
When in the eagerness of boyish hopeD
I left our cottage threshold sallying forthE
With a huge wallet o'er my shoulders slungF
A nutting crook in hand and turned my stepsG
Tow'rd some far distant wood a Figure quaintH
Tricked out in proud disguise of cast off weedsI
Which for that service had been husbandedH
By exhortation of my frugal DameJ
Motley accoutrement of power to smileK
At thorns and brakes and brambles and in truthL
More ragged than need was O'er pathless rocksM
Through beds of matted fern and tangled thicketsN
Forcing my way I came to one dear nookO
Unvisited where not a broken boughP
Drooped with its withered leaves ungracious signQ
Of devastation but the hazels roseR
Tall and erect with tempting clusters hungF
A virgin scene A little while I stoodH
Breathing with such suppression of the heartH
As joy delights in and with wise restraintH
Voluptuous fearless of a rival eyedH
The banquet or beneath the trees I sateH
Among the flowers and with the flowers I playedH
A temper known to those who after longS
And weary expectation have been blestH
With sudden happiness beyond all hopeD
Perhaps it was a bower beneath whose leavesT
The violets of five seasons re appearU
And fade unseen by any human eyeC
Where fairy water breaks do murmur onV
For ever and I saw the sparkling foamW
And with my cheek on one of those green stonesX
That fleeced with moss under the shady treesY
Lay round me scattered like a flock of sheepZ
I heard the murmur and the murmuring soundH
In that sweet mood when pleasure loves to payA
Tribute to ease and of its joy secureA2
The heart luxuriates with indifferent thingsB2
Wasting its kindliness on stocks and stonesX
And on the vacant air Then up I roseR
And dragged to earth both branch and bough with crashC2
And merciless ravage and the shady nookO
Of hazels and the green and mossy bowerD2
Deformed and sullied patiently gave upE2
Their quiet being and unless I nowP
Confound my present feelings with the pastH
Ere from the mutilated bower I turnedH
Exulting rich beyond the wealth of kingsB2
I felt a sense of pain when I beheldH
The silent trees and saw the intruding skyC
Then dearest Maiden move along these shadesF2
In gentleness of heart with gentle handH
Touch for there is a spirit in the woodsG2
