Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIHJKLMNOPQRF HHHHHHSHDTUCVWXYZHAA 2B2XRC2OD2E2PHHB2HCF 2HG2| It 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 |
