1. ۱Oh, to be in England
2. ۲Now that April's there,
3. ۳And whoever wakes in England
4. ۴Sees, some morning, unaware,
5. ۵That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
6. ۶Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
7. ۷While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
8. ۸In England--now!
9. ۹
10. ۱۰And after April, when May follows,
11. ۱۱And the white-throat builds, and all the swallows!
12. ۱۲Hark I where my blossomed pear tree in the hedge
13. ۱۳Leans to the field and scatters on the clover
14. ۱۴Blossoms and dewdrops--at the bent spray's edge--
15. ۱۵That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
16. ۱۶Lest you should think he never could recapture
17. ۱۷The first fine careless rapture!
18. ۱۸And though the fields look rough with hoary dew,
19. ۱۹All will be ... when noontide wakes anew
20. ۲۰The buttercups, the little children's dower
21. ۲۱--Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!
