A Lair At Noon. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEFGFG| The hawthorn gently stopt the sun beneath | A |
| The ash above its quiv'ring shadows spread | B |
| And downy bents that to the air did wreathe | A |
| Bow'd 'neath my pressure in an easy bed | B |
| The water whirled round each stunted nook | C |
| And sweet the splashings on the ear did swim | D |
| Of fly bit cattle gulshing in the brook | C |
| Nibbling the grasses on the fountain's brim | D |
| The little minnows driv'n from their retreat | E |
| Still sought the shelving bank to shun the heat | E |
| I fain had slept but flies would buzz around | F |
| I fain had looked calmly on the scene | G |
| But the sweet snug retreat my search had found | F |
| Waken'd the Muse to sing the woody screen | G |
