Summer Rain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC ADAD EFEF GHGH IDJD KLML EHEH ADAD| O rain Summer Rain forever | A |
| Out of the crystal spheres | B |
| And cool from my brain the fever | A |
| And wash from my eyes the tears | C |
| - | |
| Stir gently the blossoming clover | A |
| In the hollows dewy and deep | D |
| Somewhere they are blossoming over | A |
| The spot where I shall sleep | D |
| - | |
| Asleep from this wearisome aching | E |
| With my arms crossed under my head | F |
| I shall hear without awaking | E |
| The rain that blesses the dead | F |
| - | |
| And the ocean of man's existence | G |
| The surges of toil and care | H |
| Shall break and die in the distance | G |
| But never reach me there | H |
| - | |
| And yet I fancy it often | I |
| I should stir in my shrouded sleep | D |
| And struggle to rise in my coffin | J |
| If he came there to weep | D |
| - | |
| Among the dead or the angels | K |
| Though ever so faint and dim | L |
| I should know that voice in a thousand | M |
| And stretch my hands to him | L |
| - | |
| But the trouble of life and living | E |
| And the burden of daily care | H |
| And the endless sin and forgiving | E |
| Are greater than I can bear | H |
| - | |
| So rain Summer Rain and cover | A |
| The meadows dewy and deep | D |
| And freshen the blossoming clover | A |
| And sing me to dreamless sleep | D |
