Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIHJKLMNOPQRF HHHHHHSHDTUCVWXYZHAA 2B2XRC2OD2E2PHHB2HCF 2HG2It seems a day | A |
I speak of one from many singled out | B |
One of those heavenly days that cannot die | C |
When in the eagerness of boyish hope | D |
I left our cottage threshold sallying forth | E |
With a huge wallet o'er my shoulders slung | F |
A nutting crook in hand and turned my steps | G |
Tow'rd some far distant wood a Figure quaint | H |
Tricked out in proud disguise of cast off weeds | I |
Which for that service had been husbanded | H |
By exhortation of my frugal Dame | J |
Motley accoutrement of power to smile | K |
At thorns and brakes and brambles and in truth | L |
More ragged than need was O'er pathless rocks | M |
Through beds of matted fern and tangled thickets | N |
Forcing my way I came to one dear nook | O |
Unvisited where not a broken bough | P |
Drooped with its withered leaves ungracious sign | Q |
Of devastation but the hazels rose | R |
Tall and erect with tempting clusters hung | F |
A virgin scene A little while I stood | H |
Breathing with such suppression of the heart | H |
As joy delights in and with wise restraint | H |
Voluptuous fearless of a rival eyed | H |
The banquet or beneath the trees I sate | H |
Among the flowers and with the flowers I played | H |
A temper known to those who after long | S |
And weary expectation have been blest | H |
With sudden happiness beyond all hope | D |
Perhaps it was a bower beneath whose leaves | T |
The violets of five seasons re appear | U |
And fade unseen by any human eye | C |
Where fairy water breaks do murmur on | V |
For ever and I saw the sparkling foam | W |
And with my cheek on one of those green stones | X |
That fleeced with moss under the shady trees | Y |
Lay round me scattered like a flock of sheep | Z |
I heard the murmur and the murmuring sound | H |
In that sweet mood when pleasure loves to pay | A |
Tribute to ease and of its joy secure | A2 |
The heart luxuriates with indifferent things | B2 |
Wasting its kindliness on stocks and stones | X |
And on the vacant air Then up I rose | R |
And dragged to earth both branch and bough with crash | C2 |
And merciless ravage and the shady nook | O |
Of hazels and the green and mossy bower | D2 |
Deformed and sullied patiently gave up | E2 |
Their quiet being and unless I now | P |
Confound my present feelings with the past | H |
Ere from the mutilated bower I turned | H |
Exulting rich beyond the wealth of kings | B2 |
I felt a sense of pain when I beheld | H |
The silent trees and saw the intruding sky | C |
Then dearest Maiden move along these shades | F2 |
In gentleness of heart with gentle hand | H |
Touch for there is a spirit in the woods | G2 |
