Song: The Holiday Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABACDEAFGAFG HHIAJJAIDDAAAA| The world's great ways unclose | A |
| Through little wooded hills | A |
| An air that stirs and stills | A |
| Dies sighing where it rose | A |
| Or flies to sigh again | B |
| In elms whose stately rows | A |
| Receive the summer rain | C |
| And clouds clouds clouds go by | D |
| A drifting cavalry | E |
| In squadrons that disperse | A |
| And troops that reassemble | F |
| And now they pass and now | G |
| Their glittering wealth disburse | A |
| On tufted grass a tremble | F |
| And lately leafing bough | G |
| - | |
| Thus through the shining day | H |
| We'll love or pass away | H |
| Light hours in golden sleep | I |
| With clos'd half sentient eyes | A |
| And lids the light comes through | J |
| As sheep and flowers do | J |
| Who no new toils devise | A |
| While shining insects creep | I |
| About us where we lie | D |
| Beneath a pleasant sky | D |
| In fields no trouble fills | A |
| Whence as the traveller goes | A |
| The world's great ways unclose | A |
| Through little wooded hills | A |
