Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDCC EECCFGEE| Come we to the summer to the summer we will come | A |
| For the woods are full of bluebells and the hedges full of bloom | B |
| And the crow is on the oak a building of her nest | C |
| And love is burning diamonds in my true lover's breast | C |
| She sits beneath the whitethorn a plaiting of her hair | D |
| And I will to my true lover with a fond request repair | D |
| I will look upon her face I will in her beauty rest | C |
| And lay my aching weariness upon her lovely breast | C |
| - | |
| The clock a clay is creeping on the open bloom of May | E |
| The merry bee is trampling the pinky threads all day | E |
| And the chaffinch it is brooding on its grey mossy nest | C |
| In the whitethorn bush where I will lean upon my lover's breast | C |
| I'll lean upon her breast and I'll whisper in her ear | F |
| That I cannot get a wink o'sleep for thinking of my dear | G |
| I hunger at my meat and I daily fade away | E |
| Like the hedge rose that is broken in the heat of the day | E |
