The Idyll Of The Standing Stone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCA DDDDEFD DDDDDDD DGGDDDD DBBDDDD| The teasel and the horsemint spread | A |
| The hillside as with sunset sown | B |
| With blossoms o'er the Standing Stone | B |
| That ripples in its rocky bed | A |
| There are no treasuries that hold | C |
| Gold richer than the marigold | C |
| That crowns its sparkling head | A |
| - | |
| 'Tis harvest time a mower stands | D |
| Among the morning wheat and whets | D |
| His scythe and for a space forgets | D |
| The labor of the ripening lands | D |
| Then bends and through the dewy grain | E |
| His long scythe hisses and again | F |
| He swings it in his hands | D |
| - | |
| And she beholds him where he mows | D |
| On acres whence the water sends | D |
| Faint music of reflecting bends | D |
| And falls that interblend with flows | D |
| She stands among the old bee gums | D |
| Where all the apiary hums | D |
| A simple bramble rose | D |
| - | |
| She hears him whistling as he leans | D |
| And reaping sweeps the ripe wheat by | G |
| She sighs and smiles and knows not why | G |
| Nor what her heart's disturbance means | D |
| He whets his scythe and resting sees | D |
| Her rose like 'mid the hives of bees | D |
| Beneath the flowering beans | D |
| - | |
| The peacock purple lizard creeps | D |
| Along the rail and deep the drone | B |
| Of insects makes the country lone | B |
| With summer where the water sleeps | D |
| She hears him singing as he swings | D |
| His scythe who thinks of other things | D |
| Than toil and singing reaps | D |
