Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCDECCFFGHHGIJI JKIKKNoon and in the garden bower | A |
The hot air quivers o'er the grass | B |
The little lake is smooth as glass | B |
And still so heavily the hour | A |
Drags that scarce the proudest flower | A |
Pressed upon its burning bed | C |
Has strength to lift a languid head | C |
Rose and fainting violet | D |
By the water's margin set | E |
Swoon and sink as they were dead | C |
Though their weary leaves be fed | C |
With the foam drops of the pool | F |
Where it trembles dark and cool | F |
Wrinkled by the fountain spraying | G |
O'er it And the honey bee | H |
Hums his drowsy melody | H |
And wanders in his course a straying | G |
Through the sweet and tangled glade | I |
With his golden mead o'erladen | J |
Where beneath the pleasant shade | I |
Of the darkling boughs a maiden | J |
Milky limb and fiery tress | K |
All at sweetest random laid | I |
Slumbers drunken with the excess | K |
Of the noontide's loveliness | K |
