What Makes The Summer? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADBCD AEFADEFD GHIDHID| It is not the lark's clear tone | A |
| Cleaving the morning air with a soaring cry | B |
| Nor the nightingale's dulcet melody all the balmy night | C |
| Not these alone | A |
| Make the sweet sounds of summer | D |
| But the drone of beetle and bee the murmurous hum of the fly | B |
| And the chirp of the cricket hidden out of sight | C |
| These help to make the summer | D |
| - | |
| Not roses redly blown | A |
| Nor golden lilies lighting the dusky meads | E |
| Nor proud imperial pansies nor queen cups quaint and rare | F |
| Not these alone | A |
| Make the sweet sights of summer | D |
| But the countless forest leaves the myriad wayside weeds | E |
| And slender grasses springing up everywhere | F |
| These help to make the summer | D |
| - | |
| One heaven bends above | G |
| The lowliest head ofttimes has sweetest rest | H |
| O'er song bird in the pine and bee in the ivy low | I |
| Is the same love it is all God's summer | D |
| Well pleased is He if we patiently do our best | H |
| So hum little bee and low green grasses grow | I |
| You help to make the summer | D |
