June Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEDEFG HIIHJJ KBKBLLWe thought that winter love would never end | A |
That the dark year had slain the innocent May | B |
Nor hoped that your soft hand this summer day | B |
Would lie as now in mine beloved friend | A |
And like some magic spring your dream deep eyes | C |
Hold all the summer skies | C |
- | |
But lo the world again is mad with flowers | D |
The long white silence spake small bird by bird | E |
Blade after blade amid the song of showers | D |
The grass stole back once more and there was heard | E |
The ancient music of the vernal spheres | F |
Half laughter and half tears | G |
- | |
Ah love and now too swiftly like some groom | H |
Raining hot kisses on his bride's young mouth | I |
The mad young year delirious with the South | I |
Squanders his fairy treasure bloom on bloom | H |
Too soon the wild rose hastens to be sweet | J |
Too swift O June thy feet | J |
- | |
Tarry a little summer crowd not so | K |
All glory and gladness in so brief a day | B |
Teach all thy dancing flowers a step more slow | K |
And bid thy wild musicians softlier play | B |
O hast thou thought that like a madman spends | L |
The longest summer ends | L |
