A Summer Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIGG GGJJKKLLMMGGNNKK| White clouds like thistledown at fault | A |
| That drift through heaven's azure vault | A |
| The sun beams down the weedy ground | B |
| Vibrates with many an insect sound | B |
| Blackberry lilies in the noon | C |
| Lean to the creek with eyes a swoon | C |
| Where in a shallow silver gleams | D |
| Of minnows and a heron dreams | D |
| An old road clouding pale the heat | E |
| Behind a slow hoof's muffled beat | E |
| And there hill gazing at the skies | F |
| A pond within whose languor lies | F |
| A twinkle like an eye that smiles | G |
| In thought that with a dream beguiles | G |
| The day a dream of clouds that drift | H |
| And arms the willow trees uplift | H |
| Protectingly as if to hide | I |
| The wildbird on its nest that cried | I |
| Now mists that mass thesunset dyes | G |
| Build an Arabia in the skies | G |
| Through which the sun in pomp retires | G |
| Torched to his room with saffron fires | G |
| And 'thwart his palace door is laid | J |
| A crescent sign a moony blade | J |
| Then glittering in a cloud is sheathed | K |
| And dripping crimson fire wreathed | K |
| A magic scimetar of flame | L |
| Is slowly drawn before the same | L |
| The door of Day is closed its bar | M |
| Put up one bright and golden star | M |
| While crowding all the corridors | G |
| Of Dusk the shadows blackamoors | G |
| Of darkness glide and zephyrs sweep | N |
| Mist gowns of musk through halls of Sleep | N |
| Dim odalisques of Night who wait | K |
| Upon their lord who lies in state | K |
