Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDEFFFE GGGHIIIH GGGBGGGB GGGGJJJG| Beneath these fruit tree boughs that shed | A |
| Their snow white blossoms on my head | A |
| With brightest sunshine round me spread | A |
| Of spring's unclouded weather | B |
| In this sequestered nook how sweet | C |
| To sit upon my orchard seat | C |
| And birds and flowers once more to greet | C |
| My last year's friends together | B |
| - | |
| One have I marked the happiest guest | D |
| In all this covert of the blest | D |
| Hail to Thee far above the rest | D |
| In joy of voice and pinion | E |
| Thou Linnet in thy green array | F |
| Presiding Spirit here to day | F |
| Dost lead the revels of the May | F |
| And this is thy dominion | E |
| - | |
| While birds and butterflies and flowers | G |
| Make all one band of paramours | G |
| Thou ranging up and down the bowers | G |
| Art sole in thy employment | H |
| A Life a Presence like the Air | I |
| Scattering thy gladness without care | I |
| Too blest with any one to pair | I |
| Thyself thy own enjoyment | H |
| - | |
| Amid yon tuft of hazel trees | G |
| That twinkle to the gusty breeze | G |
| Behold him perched in ecstasies | G |
| Yet seeming still to hover | B |
| There where the flutter of his wings | G |
| Upon his back and body flings | G |
| Shadows and sunny glimmerings | G |
| That cover him all over | B |
| - | |
| My dazzled sight he oft deceives | G |
| A brother of the dancing leaves | G |
| Then flits and from the cottage eaves | G |
| Pours forth his song in gushes | G |
| As if by that exulting strain | J |
| He mocked and treated with disdain | J |
| The voiceless Form he chose to feign | J |
| While fluttering in the bushes | G |
