Ballade Of Summer'to C. H. Arkcoll Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBD ACABBDBD ABABBDBD E CBDD| When strawberry pottles are common and cheap | A |
| Ere elms be black or limes be sere | B |
| When midnight dances are murdering sleep | A |
| Then comes in the sweet o' the year | B |
| And far from Fleet Street far from here | C |
| The Summer is Queen in the length of the land | D |
| And moonlit nights they are soft and clear | B |
| When fans for a penny are sold in the Strand | D |
| - | |
| When clamour that doves in the lindens keep | A |
| Mingles with musical plash of the weir | C |
| Where drowned green tresses of crowsfoot creep | A |
| Then comes in the sweet o' the year | B |
| And better a crust and a beaker of beer | B |
| With rose hung hedges on either hand | D |
| Than a palace in town and a prince's cheer | B |
| When fans for a penny are sold in the Strand | D |
| - | |
| When big trout late in the twilight leap | A |
| When cuckoo clamoureth far and near | B |
| When glittering scythes in the hayfield reap | A |
| Then comes in the sweet o' the year | B |
| And it's oh to sail with the wind to steer | B |
| Where kine knee deep in the water stand | D |
| On a Highland loch on a Lowland mere | B |
| When fans for a penny are sold in the Strand | D |
| - | |
| ENVOY | E |
| - | |
| Friend with the fops while we dawdle here | C |
| Then comes in the sweet o' the year | B |
| And the Summer runs out like grains of sand | D |
| When fans for a penny are sold in the Strand | D |
