Reapers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DDDD DEDESun Tanned men and women toiling there together | A |
Seven I count in all in yon field of wheat | B |
Where the rich ripe ears in the harvest weather | A |
Glow an orange gold through the sweltering heat | B |
- | |
Busy life is still sunk in brooding leisure | A |
Birds have hushed their singing in the hushed tree tops | C |
Not a single cloud mars the flawless azure | A |
Not a shadow moves o'er the moveless crops | C |
- | |
In the grassy shallows that no breath is creasing | D |
Chestnut coloured cows in the rushes dank | D |
Stand like cows of bronze save when they flick the teasing | D |
Flies with switch of tail from each quivering flank | D |
- | |
Nature takes a rest even her bees are sleeping | D |
And the silent wood seems a church that's shut | E |
But these human creatures cease not from their reaping | D |
While the corn stands high waiting to be cut | E |
