A Wraith Of Summertime Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBB CCCCCC DDDCCC| In its color shade and shine | A |
| 'T was a summer warm as wine | A |
| With an effervescent flavoring of flowered bough and vine | A |
| And a fragrance and a taste | B |
| Of ripe roses gone to waste | B |
| And a dreamy sense of sun and moon and star light interlaced | B |
| - | |
| 'Twas a summer such as broods | C |
| O'er enchanted solitudes | C |
| Where the hand of Fancy leads us through voluptuary moods | C |
| And with lavish love out pours | C |
| All the wealth of out of doors | C |
| And woos our feet o'er velvet paths and honeysuckle floors | C |
| - | |
| 'Twas a summertime long dead | D |
| And its roses white and red | D |
| And its reeds and water lilies down along the river bed | D |
| O they all are ghostly things | C |
| For the ripple never sings | C |
| And the rocking lily never even rustles as it rings | C |
