June Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDDDEDEFGFHIJIK LMLM| Broom out the floor now lay the fender by | A |
| And plant this bee sucked bough of woodbine there | B |
| And let the window down The butterfly | A |
| Floats in upon the sunbeam and the fair | B |
| Tanned face of June the nomad gipsy laughs | C |
| Above her widespread wares the while she tells | D |
| The farmers' fortunes in the fields and quaffs | D |
| The water from the spider peopled wells | D |
| The hedges are all drowned in green grass seas | D |
| And bobbing poppies flare like Elmo's light | E |
| While siren like the pollen staind bees | D |
| Drone in the clover depths And up the height | E |
| The cuckoo's voice is hoarse and broke with joy | F |
| And on the lowland crops the crows make raid | G |
| Nor fear the clappers of the farmer's boy | F |
| Who sleeps like drunken Noah in the shad | H |
| And loop this red rose in that hazel ring | I |
| That snares your little ear for June is short | J |
| And we must joy in it and dance and sing | I |
| And from her bounty draw her rosy worth | K |
| Ay soon the swallows will be flying south | L |
| The wind wheel north to gather in the snow | M |
| Even the roses spilt on youth's red mouth | L |
| Will soon blow down the road all roses go | M |
