A Noon Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDC EFEFGCHC ICICJCCC CBCBBCDC| There are songs for the morning and songs for the night | A |
| For sunrise and sunset the stars and the moon | B |
| But who will give praise to the fulness of light | A |
| And sing us a song of the glory of noon | B |
| Oh the high noon the clear noon | B |
| The noon with golden crest | C |
| When the blue sky burns and the great sun turns | D |
| With his face to the way of the west | C |
| - | |
| How swiftly he rose in the dawn of his strength | E |
| How slowly he crept as the morning wore by | F |
| Ah steep was the climbing that led him at length | E |
| To the height of his throne in the wide summer sky | F |
| Oh the long toil the slow toil | G |
| The toil that may not rest | C |
| Till the sun looks down from his journey's crown | H |
| To the wonderful way of the west | C |
| - | |
| Then a quietness falls over meadow and hill | I |
| The wings of the wind in the forest are furled | C |
| The river runs softly the birds are all still | I |
| The workers are resting all over the world | C |
| Oh the good hour the kind hour | J |
| The hour that calms the breast | C |
| Little inn half way on the road of the day | C |
| Where it follows the turn to the west | C |
| - | |
| There's a plentiful feast in the maple tree shade | C |
| The lilt of a song to an old fashioned tune | B |
| The talk of a friend or the kiss of a maid | C |
| To sweeten the cup that we drink to the noon | B |
| Oh the deep noon the full noon | B |
| Of all the day the best | C |
| When the blue sky burns and the great sun turns | D |
| To his home by the way of the west | C |
