Sunday In The Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBB CCDDEE AAFFGG HHIIJJ| SUNDAY in the country that's how we spent the day | A |
| Drinking in the perfume of the fragrant breath of May | A |
| Gazing at the splendors of the meadows and the hills | B |
| Laughing with the babbling brooks and singing with the rills | B |
| Dancing with the sunbeams and smiling with the skies | B |
| And worshiping the Master with our hearts and minds and eyes | B |
| - | |
| Sunday in the country with an arch of blue above | C |
| And the green trees whispering to us simple messages of love | C |
| With the song birds singing anthems just as sacred and as sweet | D |
| And as stirring and uplifting as the church choir down the street | D |
| In God's own great cathedral where the poorest man may go | E |
| And catch a glimpse of Heaven as he journeys here below | E |
| - | |
| Sunday in the country that's how we spent the day | A |
| And we thanked God every minute for His precious gifts of May | A |
| For the green trees waving o'er us as the shady lanes we strolled | F |
| For the silver of the waters and the sunbeams' yellow gold | F |
| For the fragrance of the lilacs and the apple trees in bloom | G |
| For the glory of the sunshine and the blossoms' sweet perfume | G |
| - | |
| Sunday in the country till the shades of night came down | H |
| When we turned our faces homeward and we journeyed back to town | H |
| Back to all the ceaseless striving in the dreary haunts of men | I |
| To the constant quest for money with its anguish once again | I |
| But with faith in God above us and serene contentment too | J |
| For our hearts were drenched with gladness as the fields are drenched with dew | J |
