| - | |
| O THOU whose fancies from afar are brought | B |
| Who of thy words dost make a mock apparel | C |
| And fittest to unutterable thought | B |
| The breeze like motion and the self born carol | C |
| Thou faery voyager that dost float | D |
| In such clear water that thy boat | D |
| May rather seem | E |
| To brood on air than on an earthly stream | E |
| Suspended in a stream as clear as sky | F |
| Where earth and heaven do make one imagery | G |
| O blessed vision happy child | H |
| Thou art so exquisitely wild | H |
| I think of thee with many fears | I |
| For what may be thy lot in future years | I |
| I thought of times when Pain might be thy guest | J |
| Lord of thy house and hospitality | G |
| And Grief uneasy lover never rest | J |
| But when she sate within the touch of thee | G |
| O too industrious folly | G |
| O vain and causeless melancholy | G |
| Nature will either end thee quite | K |
| Or lengthening out thy season of delight | K |
| Preserve for thee by individual right | K |
| A young lamb's heart among the full grown flocks | L |
| What hast thou to do with sorrow | M |
| Or the injuries of to morrow | M |
| Thou art a dew drop which the morn brings forth | N |
| Ill fitted to sustain unkindly shocks | L |
| Or to be trailed along the soiling earth | O |
| A gem that glitters while it lives | P |
| And no forewarning gives | P |
| But at the touch of wrong without a strife | Q |
| Slips in a moment out of life | Q |
