June Thunder Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD ECFG CHIF CCJG IKCF HLBC BHAA| The Junes were free and full driving through tiny | A |
| Roads the mudguards brushing the cowparsley | B |
| Through fields of mustard and under boldly embattled | C |
| Mays and chestnuts | D |
| - | |
| Or between beeches verdurous and voluptuous | E |
| Or where broom and gorse beflagged the chalkland | C |
| All the flare and gusto of the unenduring | F |
| Joys of a season | G |
| - | |
| Now returned but I note as more appropriate | C |
| To the maturer mood impending thunder | H |
| With an indigo sky and the garden hushed except for | I |
| The treetops moving | F |
| - | |
| Then the curtains in my room blow suddenly inward | C |
| The shrubbery rustles birds fly heavily homeward | C |
| The white flowers fade to nothing on the trees and rain comes | J |
| Down like a dropscene | G |
| - | |
| Now there comes catharsis the cleansing downpour | I |
| Breaking the blossoms of our overdated fancies | K |
| Our old sentimentality and whimsicality | C |
| Loves of the morning | F |
| - | |
| Blackness at half past eight the night's precursor | H |
| Clouds like falling masonry and lightning's lavish | L |
| Annunciation the sword of the mad archangel | B |
| Flashed from the scabbard | C |
| - | |
| If only you would come and dare the crystal | B |
| Rampart of the rain and the bottomless moat of thunder | H |
| If only now you would come I should be happy | A |
| Now if now only | A |
