It Shall Be, Then, Upon A Summer's Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| It shall be then upon a summer's day | A |
| The sun my joy's accomplice bright shall shine | B |
| And add amid your silk and satin fine | B |
| To your dear radiance still another ray | A |
| - | |
| The heavens like a sumptuous canopy | C |
| Shall shake out their blue folds to droop and trail | D |
| About our happy brows that shall be pale | D |
| With so much gladness such expectancy | C |
| - | |
| And when day closes soft shall be the air | E |
| That in your snowy veils caressing plays | F |
| And with soft smiling eyes the stars shall gaze | F |
| Benignantly upon the wedded pair | E |
