| That from every thing I saw | B |
| I could some instruction draw | B |
| And raise pleasure to the height | C |
| Through the meanest objects sight | C |
| By the murmur of a spring | D |
| Or the least bough's rustelling | D |
| By a Daisy whose leaves spread | E |
| Shut when Titan goes to bed | E |
| Or a shady bush or tree | F |
| She could more infuse in me | F |
| Than all Nature's beauties can | G |
| In some other wiser man ' | H |
| G Wither His muse | I |
| - | |
| IN youth from rock to rock I went | J |
| From hill to hill in discontent | J |
| Of pleasure high and turbulent | K |
| Most pleased when most uneasy | F |
| But now my own delights I make | D |
| My thirst at every rill can slake | D |
| And gladly Nature's love partake | D |
| Of Thee sweet Daisy | F |
| - | |
| Thee Winter in the garland wears | L |
| That thinly decks his few grey hairs | L |
| Spring parts the clouds with softest airs | L |
| That she may sun thee | F |
| Whole Summer fields are thine by right | C |
| And Autumn melancholy Wight | C |
| Doth in thy crimson head delight | C |
| When rains are on thee | F |
| - | |
| In shoals and bands a morrice train | M |
| Thou greet'st the traveller in the lane | M |
| Pleased at his greeting thee again | N |
| Yet nothing daunted | O |
| Nor grieved if thou be set at nought | O |
| And oft alone in nooks remote | O |
| We meet thee like a pleasant thought | O |
| When such are wanted | O |
| - | |
| Be violets in their secret mews | L |
| The flowers the wanton Zephyrs choose | L |
| Proud be the rose with rains and dews | L |
| Her head impearling | D |
| Thou liv'st with less ambitious aim | P |
| Yet hast not gone without thy fame | P |
| Thou art indeed by many a claim | P |
| The Poet's darling | D |

| If to a rock from rains he fly | Q |
| Or some bright day of April sky | Q |
| Imprisoned by hot sunshine lie | Q |
| Near the green holly | F |
| And wearily at length should fare | R |
| He needs but look about and there | R |
| Thou art a friend at hand to scare | R |
| His melancholy | F |
| - | |
| A hundred times by rock or bower | S |
| Ere thus I have lain couched an hour | S |
| Have I derived from thy sweet power | S |
| Some apprehension | T |
| Some steady love some brief delight | O |
| Some memory that had taken flight | O |
| Some chime of fancy wrong or right | O |
| Or stray invention | T |
| - | |
| If stately passions in me burn | U |
| And one chance look to Thee should turn | U |
| I drink out of an humbler urn | U |
| A lowlier pleasure | S |
| The homely sympathy that heeds | L |
| The common life our nature breeds | L |
| A wisdom fitted to the needs | L |
| Of hearts at leisure | S |
| - | |
| Fresh smitten by the morning ray | V |
| When thou art up alert and gay | V |
| Then cheerful Flower my spirits play | V |
| With kindred gladness | L |
| And when at dusk by dews opprest | O |
| Thou sink'st the image of thy rest | O |
| Hath often eased my pensive breast | O |
| Of careful sadness | L |
| - | |
| And all day long I number yet | O |
| All seasons through another debt | O |
| Which I wherever thou art met | O |
| To thee am owing | D |
| An instinct call it a blind sense | L |
| A happy genial influence | L |
| Coming one knows not how nor whence | L |
| Nor whither going | D |
| - | |
| Child of the Year that round dost run | T |
| Thy pleasant course when day's begun | T |
| As ready to salute the sun | T |
| As lark or leveret | O |
| Thy long lost praise thou shalt regain | M |
| Nor be less dear to future men | N |
| Than in old time thou not in vain | M |
| Art Nature's favourite | O |
