Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCDECCFFGHHGIJI JKIKK| Noon 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 |
