===To Spring ===
 * O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down


 * Thro' the clear windows of the morning, turn


 * Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,


 * Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring !


 * The hills tell each other, and the list'ning                5


 * Valleys hear ; all our longing eyes are turnèd


 * Up to thy bright pavilions : issue forth,


 * And let thy holy feet visit our clime.


 * Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds


 * Kiss thy perfumèd garments ; let us taste          10


 * Thy morn and evening breath ; scatter thy pearls


 * Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.


 * O deck her forth with thy fair fingers ; pour


 * Thy soft kisses on her bosom ; and put


 * Thy golden crown upon her languish'd head,          15


 * Whose modest tresses were bound up for thee.

To Summer

 * O thou who passest thro' our valleys in


 * Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat


 * That flames from their large nostrils ! thou, O Summer,


 * Oft pitched'st here thy golden tent, and oft


 * Beneath our oaks hast slept, while we beheld          5


 * With joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair.
