So Long In Coming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABABA CDCDEAEA FGFGHAHA| When shall I hear the thrushes sing | A |
| And see their graceful round throats swelling | A |
| When shall I watch the bluebirds bring | A |
| The straws and twiglets for their dwelling | A |
| When shall I hear among the trees | B |
| The little martial partridge drumming | A |
| Oh Hasten Sights and sounds that please | B |
| The summer is so long in coming | A |
| - | |
| The winds are talking with the sun | C |
| I hope they will combine together | D |
| And melt the snow drifts one by one | C |
| And bring again the golden weather | D |
| Oh haste make haste dear sun and wind | E |
| I long to hear the brown bee humming | A |
| I seek for blooms I cannot find | E |
| The summer is so long in coming | A |
| - | |
| The winter has been cold so cold | F |
| Its winds are harsh and bleak and dreary | G |
| And all its sports are stale and old | F |
| We wait for something now more cheery | G |
| Come up O summer from the south | H |
| And bring the harps your hands are thrumming | A |
| We pine for kisses from your mouth | H |
| Oh Do not be so long in coming | A |
