A Pastoral Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFG HIHIJK LMLMCC| Come Anna come the morning dawns | A |
| Faint streaks of radiance tinge the skies | B |
| Come let us seek the dewy lawns | A |
| And watch the early lark arise | B |
| While nature clad in vesture gay | C |
| Hails the loved return of day | C |
| - | |
| Our flocks that nip the scanty blade | D |
| Upon the moor shall seek the vale | E |
| And then secure beneath the shade | D |
| We'll listen to the throstle's tale | E |
| And watch the silver clouds above | F |
| As o'er the azure vault they rove | G |
| - | |
| Come Anna come and bring thy lute | H |
| That with its tones so softly sweet | I |
| In cadence with my mellow flute | H |
| We may beguile the noontide heat | I |
| While near the mellow bee shall join | J |
| To raise a harmony divine | K |
| - | |
| And then at eve when silence reigns | L |
| Except when heard the beetle's hum | M |
| We'll leave the sober tinted plains | L |
| To these sweet heights again we'll come | M |
| And thou to thy soft lute shalt play | C |
| A solemn vesper to departing day | C |
