| The passing traveller slights | B |
| Yet there the glow worms hang their lamps | C |
| Like stars at various heights | B |
| And one coy Primrose to that Rock | D |
| The vernal breeze invites | B |
| - | |
| What hideous warfare hath been waged | E |
| What kingdoms overthrown | F |
| Since first I spied that Primrose tuft | G |
| And marked it for my own | F |
| A lasting link in Nature's chain | H |
| From highest heaven let down | I |
| - | |
| The flowers still faithful to the stems | J |
| Their fellowship renew | K |
| The stems are faithful to the root | L |
| That worketh out of view | K |
| And to the rock the root adheres | M |
| In every fibre true | K |
| - | |
| Close clings to earth the living rock | D |
| Though threatening still to fall | N |
| The earth is constant to her sphere | O |
| And God upholds them all | N |
| So blooms this lonely Plant nor dreads | P |
| Her annual funeral | Q |
| - | |

| - | |
| Here closed the meditative strain | H |
| But air breathed soft that day | R |
| The hoary mountain heights were cheered | S |
| The sunny vale looked gay | R |
| And to the Primrose of the Rock | D |
| I gave this after lay | R |
| - | |
| I sang Let myriads of bright flowers | T |
| Like Thee in field and grove | U |
| Revive unenvied mightier far | V |
| Than tremblings that reprove | U |
| Our vernal tendencies to hope | W |
| Is God's redeeming love | U |
| - | |
| That love which changed for wan disease | X |
| For sorrow that had bent | Y |
| O'er hopeless dust for withered age | Z |
| Their moral element | A |
| And turned the thistles of a curse | A2 |
| To types beneficent | A |
| - | |
| Sin blighted though we are we too | K |
| The reasoning Sons of Men | B2 |
| From one oblivious winter called | C2 |
| Shall rise and breathe again | B2 |
| And in eternal summer lose | D2 |
| Our threescore years and ten | B2 |
| - | |
| To humbleness of heart descends | E2 |
| This prescience from on high | U |
| The faith that elevates the just | F2 |
| Before and when they die | U |
| And makes each soul a separate heaven | G2 |
| A court for Deity | H2 |
