Four Years Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAACCAAADDAAAEFAA| At the Midsummer when the hay was down | A |
| Said I mournful Though my life be in its prime | B |
| Bare lie my meadows all shorn before their time | B |
| O'er my sere woodlands the leaves are turning brown | A |
| It is the hot Midsummer when the hay is down | A |
| At the Midsummer when the hay was down | A |
| Stood she by the brooklet young and very fair | C |
| With the first white bindweed twisted in her hair | C |
| Hair that drooped like birch boughs all in her simple gown | A |
| That eve in high Midsummer when the hay was down | A |
| At the Midsummer when the hay was down | A |
| Crept she a willing bride close into my breast | D |
| Low piled the thunder clouds had sunk into the west | D |
| Red eyed the sun out glared like knight from leaguered town | A |
| It was the high Midsummer and the sun was down | A |
| It is Midsummer all the hay is down | A |
| Close to her forehead press I dying eyes | E |
| Praying God shield her till we meet in Paradise | F |
| Bless her in love's name who was my joy and crown | A |
| And I go at Midsummer when the hay is down | A |
