Summer Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHIHJ KLKLMNMN OOOOPQPQThe cocks have now the morn foretold | A |
The sun again begins to peep | B |
The shepherd whistling to his fold | A |
Unpens and frees the captive sheep | B |
O'er pathless plains at early hours | C |
The sleepy rustic sloomy goes | D |
The dews brushed off from grass and flowers | C |
Bemoistening sop his hardened shoes | E |
- | |
While every leaf that forms a shade | F |
And every floweret's silken top | G |
And every shivering bent and blade | F |
Stoops bowing with a diamond drop | G |
But soon shall fly those diamond drops | H |
The red round sun advances higher | I |
And stretching o'er the mountain tops | H |
Is gilding sweet the village spire | J |
- | |
'Tis sweet to meet the morning breeze | K |
Or list the gurgling of the brook | L |
Or stretched beneath the shade of trees | K |
Peruse and pause on Nature's book | L |
When Nature every sweet prepares | M |
To entertain our wished delay | N |
The images which morning wears | M |
The wakening charms of early day | N |
- | |
Now let me tread the meadow paths | O |
While glittering dew the ground illumes | O |
As sprinkled o'er the withering swaths | O |
Their moisture shrinks in sweet perfumes | O |
And hear the beetle sound his horn | P |
And hear the skylark whistling nigh | Q |
Sprung from his bed of tufted corn | P |
A haling minstrel from the sky | Q |
