Summer Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHIHJ KLKLMNMN OOOOPQPQ| The 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 |
