Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGAA| The mid day hour of twelve the clock counts o'er | A |
| A sultry stillness lulls the air asleep | B |
| The very buzz of flies is heard no more | C |
| Nor faintest wrinkles o'er the waters creep | B |
| Like one large sheet of glass the waters shine | D |
| Reflecting on their face the burnt sunbeam | E |
| The very fish their sporting play decline | D |
| Seeking the willow shadows 'side the stream | E |
| And where the hawthorn branches o'er the pool | F |
| The little bird forsaking song and nest | G |
| Flutters on dripping twigs his limbs to cool | F |
| And splashes in the stream his burning breast | G |
| O free from thunder for a sudden shower | A |
| To cherish nature in this noon day hour | A |
