I Pluck Summer Blossoms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB CCAAAA AAAAAA DEFBGF AAHIIH| I pluck Summer blossoms | A |
| And think of rich bosoms | A |
| The bosoms I've leaned on and worshipped and won | B |
| The rich valley lilies | A |
| The wood daffodillies | A |
| Have been found in our rambles when Summer begun | B |
| - | |
| Where I plucked thee the bluebell | C |
| 'T was where the night dew fell | C |
| And rested till morn in the cups of the flowers | A |
| I shook the sweet posies | A |
| Bluebells and brere roses | A |
| As we sat in cool shade in Summer's warm hours | A |
| - | |
| Bedlam cowslips and cuckoos | A |
| With freck'd lip and hooked nose | A |
| Growing safe near the hazel of thicket and woods | A |
| And water blobs ladies' smocks | A |
| Blooming where haycocks | A |
| May be found in the meadows low places and floods | A |
| - | |
| And cowslips a fair band | D |
| For May ball or garland | E |
| That bloom in the meadows as seen by the eye | F |
| And pink ragged robin | B |
| Where the fish they are bobbing | G |
| Their heads above water to catch at the fly | F |
| - | |
| Wild flowers and wild roses | A |
| 'T is love makes the posies | A |
| To paint Summer ballads of meadow and glen | H |
| Floods can't drown it nor turn it | I |
| Even flames cannot burn it | I |
| Let it bloom till we walk the green meadows again | H |
