The Summons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKFLM NOFPQRNSTUA sterner errand to the silken troop | A |
Has quenched the uneasy blush that warmed my cheek | B |
I am commissioned in my day of joy | C |
To leave my woods and streams and the sweet sloth | D |
Of prayer and song that were my dear delight | E |
To leave the rudeness of my woodland life | F |
Sweet twilight walks and midnight solitude | G |
And kind acquaintance with the morning stars | H |
And the glad hey day of my household hours | I |
The innocent mirth which sweetens daily bread | J |
Railing in love to those who rail again | K |
By mind's industry sharpening the love of life | F |
Books Muses Study fireside friends and love | L |
I loved ye with true love so fare ye well | M |
- | |
I was a boy boyhood slid gayly by | N |
And the impatient years that trod on it | O |
Taught me new lessons in the lore of life | F |
I've learned the sum of that sad history | P |
All woman born do know that hoped for days | Q |
Days that come dancing on fraught with delights | R |
Dash our blown hopes as they limp heavily by | N |
But I the bantling of a country Muse | S |
Abandon all those toys with speed to obey | T |
The King whose meek ambassador I go | U |
