Dawn In Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIHJKLMNOBBPB BBBQ| When now no more th' alternate twins are fired | A |
| And Cancer reddens with the solar blaze | B |
| Short is the doubtful empire of the Night | C |
| And soon observant of approaching Day | D |
| The meek eyed Morn appears mother of dews | E |
| At first faint gleaming in the dappled east | F |
| Till far o'er ether spreads the widening glow | G |
| And from before the lustre of her face | H |
| White breaks the clouds away With quicken'd step | I |
| Brown Night retires young Day pours in apace | H |
| And opens all the lawny prospects wide | J |
| The dripping rock the mountain's misty top | K |
| Swell on the sight and brighten with the dawn | L |
| Blue through the dusk the smoking currents shine | M |
| And from the bladed field the fearful hare | N |
| Limps awkward while along the forest glade | O |
| The wild deer trip and often turning gaze | B |
| At early passenger Music awakes | B |
| The native voice of undissembled joy | P |
| And thick around the woodland hymns arise | B |
| Roused by the cock the soon clad shepherd leaves | B |
| His mossy cottage where with Peace he dwells | B |
| And from the crowded fold in order drives | B |
| His flock to taste the verdure of the morn | Q |
