| 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 |
