The Summons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDAEA FGCGAAHA ECICFJEJ CKLKCMLM FNEOIPFP| Some day when the golden glory | A |
| Of June is over the earth | B |
| And the birds are singing together | C |
| In a wild mad strain of mirth | B |
| When the skies are as clear and cloudless | D |
| As the skies in June can be | A |
| I would like to have the summons | E |
| Sent down from God to me | A |
| - | |
| Some glowing golden morning | F |
| In the heart of the summer time | G |
| As I stand in the perfect vigour | C |
| And strength of my youth's glad prime | G |
| When my heart is light and happy | A |
| And the word seems to bright to me | A |
| I would like to dropp from this earth life | H |
| As a green leaf drops from a tree | A |
| - | |
| I would not wait for the furrows | E |
| For the faded eyes and hair | C |
| But pass out swift and sudden | I |
| Ere I grow heart sick with care | C |
| I would break some morn in my singing | F |
| Or fall in my springing walk | J |
| As a full blown flower will sometimes | E |
| Drop all a bloom from the stalk | J |
| - | |
| I think the leaf would sooner | C |
| Be the first to break away | K |
| Than to hang alone in the orchard | L |
| In the bleak November day | K |
| And I think the fate of the flower | C |
| That falls in the midst of bloom | M |
| Is sweeter than if it lingered | L |
| To die in the autumn's gloom | M |
| - | |
| And so in my youth's glad morning | F |
| While the summer walks abroad | N |
| I would like to hear the summons | E |
| That must come sometime from God | O |
| I would pass from the earth's perfection | I |
| To the endless June above | P |
| From the fullness of living and loving | F |
| To the noon of Immortal Love | P |
