Summer Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHIIThe frog half fearful jumps across the path | A |
And little mouse that leaves its hole at eve | B |
Nimbles with timid dread beneath the swath | C |
My rustling steps awhile their joys deceive | B |
Till past and then the cricket sings more strong | D |
And grasshoppers in merry moods still wear | E |
The short night weary with their fretting song | D |
Up from behind the molehill jumps the hare | E |
Cheat of his chosen bed and from the bank | F |
The yellowhammer flutters in short fears | G |
From off its nest hid in the grasses rank | F |
And drops again when no more noise it hears | H |
Thus nature's human link and endless thrall | I |
Proud man still seems the enemy of all | I |
