Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAFGHIJEKLMNOPIQ ORSTUVCWXYZA2B2C2D2E 2F2G2H2I2J2K2| Some men there are who find in nature all | A |
| Their inspiration hers the sympathy | B |
| Which spurs them on to any great endeavor | C |
| To them the fields and woods are closest friends | D |
| And they hold dear communion with the hills | E |
| The voice of waters soothes them with its fall | A |
| And the great winds bring healing in their sound | F |
| To them a city is a prison house | G |
| Where pent up human forces labour and strive | H |
| Where beauty dwells not driven forth by man | I |
| But where in winter they must live until | J |
| Summer gives back the spaces of the hills | E |
| To me it is not so I love the earth | K |
| And all the gifts of her so lavish hand | L |
| Sunshine and flowers rivers and rushing winds | M |
| Thick branches swaying in a winter storm | N |
| And moonlight playing in a boat's wide wake | O |
| But more than these and much ah how much more | P |
| I love the very human heart of man | I |
| Above me spreads the hot blue mid day sky | Q |
| Far down the hillside lies the sleeping lake | O |
| Lazily reflecting back the sun | R |
| And scarcely ruffled by the little breeze | S |
| Which wanders idly through the nodding ferns | T |
| The blue crest of the distant mountain tops | U |
| The green crest of the hill on which I sit | V |
| And it is summer glorious deep toned summer | C |
| The very crown of nature's changing year | W |
| When all her surging life is at its full | X |
| To me alone it is a time of pause | Y |
| A void and silent space between two worlds | Z |
| When inspiration lags and feeling sleeps | A2 |
| Gathering strength for efforts yet to come | B2 |
| For life alone is creator of life | C2 |
| And closest contact with the human world | D2 |
| Is like a lantern shining in the night | E2 |
| To light me to a knowledge of myself | F2 |
| I love the vivid life of winter months | G2 |
| In constant intercourse with human minds | H2 |
| When every new experience is gain | I2 |
| And on all sides we feel the great world's heart | J2 |
| The pulse and throb of life which makes us men | K2 |
