Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDDC EEECFFFC GGHIIIII EEIDJJJD KKKCLLLC MMMNIIIN OOOMEEEM PPPEIIIE IIIDEEED NNNIGHGIIN youth from rock to rock I went | A |
From hill to hill in discontent | A |
Of pleasure high and turbulent | B |
Most pleased when most uneasy | C |
But now my own delights I make | D |
Thirst at every rill can slake | D |
And gladly Nature's love partake | D |
Of Thee sweet Daisy | C |
- | |
Thee Winter in the garland wears | E |
That thinly decks his few gray hairs | E |
Spring parts the clouds with softest airs | E |
That she may sun thee | C |
Whole Summer fields are thine by right | F |
And Autumn melancholy Wight | F |
Doth in thy crimson head delight | F |
When rains are on thee | C |
- | |
In shoals and bands a morrice train | G |
Thou greet'st the traveller in the lane | G |
Pleased at his greeting thee again | H |
Yet nothing daunted | I |
Nor grieved if thou be set at nought | I |
And oft alone in nooks remote | I |
We meet thee like a pleasant thought | I |
When such are wanted | I |
- | |
Be violets in their secret mews | E |
The flowers the wanton Zephyrs choose | E |
Proud be the rose with rains and dew | I |
Her head impearling | D |
Thou liv'st with less ambitious aim | J |
Yet hast not gone without thy fame | J |
Thou art indeed by many a claim | J |
The Poet's darling | D |
- | |
If to a rock from rain he fly | K |
Or some bright day of April sky | K |
Imprisoned by hot sunshine lie | K |
Near the green holly | C |
And wearily at length should fare | L |
He need but look about and there | L |
Thou art a friend at hand to care | L |
His melancholy | C |
- | |
A hundred times by rock or bower | M |
Ere thus I have lain couched an hour | M |
Have I derived from thy sweet power | M |
Some apprehension | N |
Some steady love some brief delight | I |
Some memory that had taken flight | I |
Some chime of fancy wrong or right | I |
Of stray invention | N |
- | |
If stately passions in me burn | O |
And one chance look to Thee should turn | O |
I drink out of an humbler urn | O |
A lowlier pleasure | M |
The homely sympathy that heeds | E |
The common life our nature breeds | E |
A wisdom fitted to the needs | E |
Of hearts at leisure | M |
- | |
Fresh smitten by the morning ray | P |
When thou art up alert and gay | P |
Then cheerful Flower my spirits play | P |
With kindred gladness | E |
And when at dusk by dews opprest | I |
Thou sink'st the image of thy rest | I |
Hath often eased my pensive breast | I |
Of careful sadness | E |
- | |
And all day long I number yet | I |
All seasons through another debt | I |
Which I wherever thou art met | I |
To thee am owing | D |
An instinct call it a blind sense | E |
A happy genial influence | E |
Coming one knows not how nor whence | E |
Nor whither going | D |
- | |
Child of the Year that round dost run | N |
Thy pleasant course when day's begun | N |
As ready to salute the sun | N |
As lark or leveret | I |
Thy long lost praise thou shalt regain | G |
Nor be less dear to future men | H |
Than in old time thou not in vain | G |
Art Nature's favourite | I |
William Wordsworth
