PANSIES lilies kingcups daisiesA
Let them live upon their praisesB
Long as there's a sun that setsC
Primroses will have their gloryD
Long as there are violetsE
They will have a place in storyD
There's a flower that shall be mineF
'Tis the little CelandineF
-
Eyes of some men travel farG
For the finding of a starG
Up and down the heavens they goH
Men that keep a mighty routI
I'm as great as they I trowH
Since the day I found thee outI
Little Flower I'll make a stirJ
Like a sage astronomerJ
-
Modest yet withal an ElfK
Bold and lavish of thyselfK
Since we needs must first have metL
I have seen thee high and lowH
Thirty years or more and yetL
'Twas a face I did not knowH
Thou hast now go where I mayM
Fifty greetings in a dayM
-
Ere a leaf is on a bushN
In the time before the thrushO
Has a thought about her nestP
Thou wilt come with half a callQ
Spreading out thy glossy breastP
Like a careless ProdigalR
Telling tales about the sunS
When we've little warmth or noneS
-
Poets vain men in their moodT
Travel with the multitudeT
Never heed them I averJ
That they all are wanton wooersE
But the thrifty cottagerJ
Who stirs little out of doorsE
Joys to spy thee near her homeU
Spring is coming Thou art comeV
-
Comfort have thou of thy meritW
Kindly unassuming SpiritW
Careless of thy neighbourhoodW
Thou dost show thy pleasant faceE
On the moor and in the woodW
In the lane there's not a placeE
Howsoever mean it beD
But 'tis good enough for theeD
-
Ill befall the yellow flowersE
Children of the flaring hoursE
Buttercups that will be seenX
Whether we will see or noH
Others too of lofty mienX
They have done as worldlings doW
Taken praise that should be thineF
Little humble CelandineF
-
Prophet of delight and mirthY
Ill requited upon earthY
Herald of a mighty bandW
Of a joyous train ensuingZ
Serving at my heart's commandW
Tasks that are no tasks renewingZ
I will sing as doth behoveK
Hymns in praise of what I loveK

William Wordsworth
