Midsummer Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Through shimmering skies the big clouds slowly sail | A |
| A faint breeze lingers in the rustling beech | B |
| Atop the withered oak with vagrant speech | B |
| The brawling crows call down the sleepy vale | A |
| Unseen the glad cicadas trill their tale | A |
| Of deep content in changeless vibrant screech | B |
| And where the old fence rambles out of reach | B |
| The drowsy lizard hugs the shaded rail | A |
| Warm odors from the hayfield wander by | C |
| Afar the homing reaper's noontide tune | D |
| Floats on the mellow stillness like a sigh | C |
| One butterfly ghost of a vanished June | D |
| Soars dimly where in realms of purple sky | C |
| Dips the wan crescent of the vapory moon | D |
