Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAABABB AAAAACDEDD| Noon like a naked sword lies on the grass | A |
| Heavy with gold and Time itself doth drowse | A |
| The little stream too indolent to pass | A |
| Loiters below the cloudy willow boughs | A |
| That build amid the glare a shadowy house | A |
| And with a Paradisal freshness brims | A |
| Amid cool rooted reeds with glossy blade | B |
| The antic water fly above it skims | A |
| And cows stand shadow like in the green shade | B |
| Or knee deep in the grassy glimmer wade | B |
| - | |
| The earth in golden slumber dreaming lies | A |
| Idly abloom and nothing sings or moves | A |
| Nor bird nor bee and even the butterflies | A |
| Languid with noon forget their painted loves | A |
| Nor hath the woodland any talk of doves | A |
| Only at times a little breeze will stir | C |
| And send a ripple o'er the sleeping stream | D |
| Or run its fingers through the willows' hair | E |
| And sway the rushes momently agleam | D |
| Then all fall back again into a dream | D |
