Departing summer hath assumedA
An aspect tenderly illumedA
The gentlest look of springB
That calls from yonder leafy shadeA
Unfaded yet prepared to fadeA
A timely carollingB
-
No faint and hesitating trillC
Such tribute as to winter chillC
The lonely redbreast paysD
Clear loud and lively is the dinE
From social warblers gathering inE
Their harvest of sweet laysD
-
Nor doth the example fail to cheerF
Me conscious that my leaf is sereF
And yellow on the boughG
Fall rosy garlands from my headA
Ye myrtle wreaths your fragrance shedA
Around a younger browG
-
Yet will I temperately rejoiceH
Wide is the range and free the choiceH
Of undiscordant themesI
Which haply kindred souls may prizeJ
Not less than vernal ecstasiesJ
And passion's feverish dreamsJ
-
For deathless powers to verse belongB
And they like Demi gods are strongB
On whom the Muses smileK
But some their function have disclaimedA
Best pleased with what is aptliest framedA
To enervate and defileK
-
Not such the initiatory strainsJ
Committed to the silent plainsJ
In Britain's earliest dawnL
Trembled the groves the stars grew paleK
While all too daringly the veilK
Of nature was withdrawnL
-
Nor such the spirit stirring noteA
When the live chords Alc us smoteA
Inflamed by sense of wrongB
Woe woe to Tyrants from the lyreM
Broke threateningly in sparkles direM
Of fierce vindictive songB
-
And not unhallowed was the pageN
By wing egrave d Love inscribed to assuageN
The pangs of vain pursuitA
Love listening while the Lesbian MaidA
With finest touch of passion swayedA
Her own olian luteA
-
O ye who patiently exploreO
The wreck of Herculanean loreO
What rapture could ye seizeJ
Some Theban fragment or unrollK
One precious tender hearted scrollK
Of pure SimonidesJ
-
That were indeed a genuine birthP
Of poesy a bursting forthQ
Of genius from the dustA
What Horace gloried to beholdA
What Maro loved shall we enfoldA
Can haughty Time be justA

William Wordsworth
