Summer Sanctuary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFEGE HIH ECE| Not upon the crowded beaches | A |
| Where the sun beats fierce and hot | B |
| Not upon the river reaches | A |
| In a shady silvan spot | B |
| But in some deep mountain valley | C |
| 'Mid the sassafras and fern | D |
| Here's the place where I would dally | C |
| When the suns of Summer burn | D |
| - | |
| Here the sifted sunlight dappling | E |
| Carpets with translucent green | F |
| Flecks and flirts on fern and sapling | E |
| Where the cold stream peeps between | F |
| 'Here ' you muse 'since time's beginning | E |
| Foot of man has never known | G |
| Mine the joy first to be winning | E |
| All this beauty for my own ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Here ' you muse 'is safe seclusion | H |
| Known alone to bee and bird | I |
| From the rude unsought intrusion | H |
| Of the common human herd ' | - |
| Then a lipstick grossly gleaming | E |
| And a half smoked fag you see | C |
| And you waken from your dreaming | E |
| As a shrill voice yells 'Coo ee ' | - |
