August Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDC EFFGEFFG| When my eyes are weeds | A |
| And my lips are petals spinning | B |
| Down the wind that has beginning | B |
| Where the crumpled beeches start | C |
| In a fringe of salty reeds | A |
| When my arms are elder bushes | D |
| And the rangy lilac pushes | D |
| Upward upward through my heart | C |
| - | |
| Summer do your worst | E |
| Light your tinsel moon and call on | F |
| Your performing stars to fall on | F |
| Headlong through your paper sky | G |
| Nevermore shall I be cursed | E |
| By a flushed and amorous slattern | F |
| With her dusty laces' pattern | F |
| Trailing as she straggles by | G |
