Song. "the Sultry Day It Wears Away" Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHDHIJKL LMNOLPQP RSTULLVL| The sultry day it wears away | A |
| And o'er the distant leas | B |
| The mist again in purple stain | C |
| Falls moist on flower and trees | B |
| His home to find the weary hind | D |
| Glad leaves his carts and ploughs | E |
| While maidens fair with bosoms bare | F |
| Go coolly to their cows | E |
| - | |
| The red round sun his work has done | G |
| And dropp'd into his bed | H |
| And sweetly shin'd the oaks behind | D |
| His curtain fring'd with red | H |
| And step by step the night has crept | I |
| And day as loth retires | J |
| But clouds more dark night's entrance mark | K |
| Till day's last spark expires | L |
| - | |
| Pride of the vales the nightingales | L |
| Now charm the oaken grove | M |
| And loud and long with amorous tongue | N |
| They try to please their love | O |
| And where the rose reviving blows | L |
| Upon the swelter'd bower | P |
| I'll take my seat my love to meet | Q |
| And wait th' appointed hour | P |
| - | |
| And like the bird whose joy is heard | R |
| Now he his love can join | S |
| Who hails so loud the even shroud | T |
| I'll wait as glad for mine | U |
| As weary bees o'er parched leas | L |
| Now meet reviving flowers | L |
| So on her breast I'll sink to rest | V |
| And bless the evening hours | L |
