May-noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAACADDECE| How sweet it is when suns get warmly high | A |
| In the mid noon as May's first cowslip springs | B |
| And the young cuckoo his soft ditty sings | B |
| To wander out and take a book and lie | A |
| 'Neath some low pasture bush by guggling springs | B |
| That shake the sprouting flag as crimpling by | A |
| Or where the sunshine freckles on the eye | A |
| Through the half clothed branches in the woods | C |
| Where airy leaves of woodbines scrambling nigh | A |
| Are earliest venturers to unfold their buds | D |
| And little rippling runnels curl their floods | D |
| Bathing the primrose peep and strawberry wild | E |
| And cuckoo flowers just creeping from their hoods | C |
| With the sweet season like their bard beguil'd | E |
