Summer Winds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DEDEFGFG HGHGGIGJThe wind waves oer the meadows green | A |
And shakes my own wild flowers | B |
And shifts about the moving scene | A |
Like the life of summer hours | B |
The little bents with reedy head | C |
The scarce seen shapes of flowers | B |
All kink about like skeins of thread | C |
In these wind shaken hours | B |
- | |
All stir and strife and life and bustle | D |
In everything around one sees | E |
The rushes whistle sedges rustle | D |
The grass is buzzing round like bees | E |
The butterflies are tossed about | F |
Like skiffs upon a stormy sea | G |
The bees are lost amid the rout | F |
And drop in their perplexity | G |
- | |
Wilt thou be mine thou bonny lass | H |
Thy drapery floats so gracefully | G |
We'll walk along the meadow grass | H |
We'll stand beneath the willow tree | G |
We'll mark the little reeling bee | G |
Along the grassy ocean rove | I |
Tossed like a little boat at sea | G |
And interchange our vows of love | J |
