Those silver clouds collected round the sunA
His mid day warmth abate not seeming lessB
To overshade than multiply his beamsC
By soft reflection grateful to the skyD
To rocks fields woods Nor doth our human senseE
Ask for its pleasure screen or canopyF
More ample than the time dismantled OakG
Spreads o'er this tuft of heath which now attiredH
In the whole fulness of its bloom affordsI
Couch beautiful as e'er for earthly useJ
Was fashioned whether by the hand of ArtK
That eastern Sultan amid flowers enwroughtK
On silken tissue might diffuse his limbsL
In languor or by Nature for reposeM
Of panting Wood nymph wearied with the chaseN
O Lady fairer in thy Poet's sightK
Than fairest spiritual creature of the grovesO
Approach and thus invited crown with restK
The noon tide hour though truly some there areP
Whose footsteps superstitiously avoidK
This venerable Tree for when the windK
Blows keenly it sends forth a creaking soundK
Above the general roar of woods and cragsO
Distinctly heard from far a doleful noteK
As if so Grecian shepherds would have deemedK
The Hamadryad pent within bewailedK
Some bitter wrong Nor is it unbelievedK
By ruder fancy that a troubled ghostK
Haunts the old trunk lamenting deeds of whichQ
The flowery ground is conscious But no windK
Sweeps now along this elevated ridgeR
Not even a zephyr stirs the obnoxious TreeF
Is mute and in his silence would look downS
O lovely Wanderer of the trackless hillsO
On thy reclining form with more delightK
Than his coevals in the sheltered valeT
Seem to participate the while they viewU
Their own far stretching arms and leafy headsO
Vividly pictured in some glassy poolV
That for a brief space checks the hurrying streamW

William Wordsworth
