Insects In Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVLWX| Waked by his warmer ray the reptile young | A |
| Came wing'd abroad by the light air upborne | B |
| Lighter and full of soul From every chink | C |
| And secret corner where they slept away | D |
| The wintry storms or rising from their tombs | E |
| To higher life by myriads forth at once | F |
| Swarming they pour of all the varied hues | G |
| Their beauty beaming parent can disclose | H |
| Ten thousand forms ten thousand different tribes | I |
| People the blaze To sunny waters some | J |
| By fatal instinct fly where on the pool | K |
| They sportive wheel or sailing down the stream | L |
| Are snatch'd immediate by the quick eyed trout | M |
| Or darting salmon Through the greenwood glade | N |
| Some love to stray there lodged amused and fed | O |
| In the fresh leaf Luxurious others make | P |
| The meads their choice and visit every flower | Q |
| And every latent herb and where to wrap | R |
| In what soft beds their young yet undisclosed | S |
| Employs their tender care Some to the house | T |
| The fold the dairy hungry bend their flight | U |
| Sip round the pail or taste the curdling cheese | V |
| Oft inadvertent from the milky stream | L |
| They meet their fate or weltering in the bowl | W |
| With powerless wings around them wrapt expire | X |
