Who used to dance with lanterns round a little boy in bed;

By a sure voice that can most sweetly tell,

And lilies face the March-winds in full blow,
And humbler growths as moved with one desire
Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire,

Mother Earth shed her dress to turn green,
Flowers bloom to bear fruits to

Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,
You will suppose that with an upright path
Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

And the ricks stand gray to the sun,

And your English summer's done.'

In Spring the streets were green with grass and trees.
Sorrowing over the times, the flowers are weeping.
The birds startled my heart in fear of departing.

And the cloudy days of autumn and of winter cometh on
