Summer Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG DDHH IIJJ KKLL| Murmuring 'twixt a murmur and moan | A |
| Many a tune in a single tone | A |
| For every ear with a secret true | B |
| The sea shell wants to whisper to you | B |
| - | |
| Yes I hear it far and faint | C |
| Like thin drawn prayer of drowsy saint | C |
| Like the muffled sounds of a summer rain | D |
| Like the wash of dreams in a weary brain | D |
| - | |
| By smiling lip and fixed eye | E |
| You are hearing a song within the sigh | E |
| The murmurer has many a lovely phrase | F |
| Tell me darling the words it says | G |
| - | |
| I hear a wind on a boatless main | D |
| Sigh like the last of a vanishing pain | D |
| On the dreaming waters dreams the moon | H |
| But I hear no words in the doubtful tune | H |
| - | |
| If it tell thee not that I love thee well | I |
| 'Tis a senseless wrinkled ill curved shell | I |
| If it be not of love why sigh or sing | J |
| 'Tis a common mechanical stupid thing | J |
| - | |
| It murmurs it whispers with prophet voice | K |
| Of a peace that comes of a sealed choice | K |
| It says not a word of your love to me | L |
| But it tells me I love you eternally | L |
