Summer Studies. I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEAA FGFGHH AIAIJJ| The cock hath crow'd I hear the doors unbarr'd | A |
| Down to the moss grown porch my way I take | B |
| And hear beside the well within the yard | A |
| Full many an ancient quacking splashing drake | B |
| And gabbling goose and noisy brood hen all | C |
| Responding to yon strutting gobbler's call | C |
| - | |
| The dew is thick upon the velvet grass | D |
| The porch rails hold it in translucent drops | E |
| And as the cattle from th' enclosure pass | D |
| Each one alternate slowly halts and crops | E |
| The tall green spears with all their dewy load | A |
| Which grow beside the well known pasture road | A |
| - | |
| A lustrous polish is on all the leaves | F |
| The birds flit in and out with varied notes | G |
| The noisy swallows twitter 'neath the eaves | F |
| A partridge whistle thro' the garden floats | G |
| While yonder gaudy peacock harshly cries | H |
| As red and gold flush all the eastern skies | H |
| - | |
| Up comes the sun thro' the dense leaves a spot | A |
| Of splendid light drinks up the dew the breeze | I |
| Which late made leafy music dies the day grows hot | A |
| And slumbrous sounds come from marauding bees | I |
| The burnish'd river like a sword blade shines | J |
| Save where 'tis shadow'd by the solemn pines | J |
