Early Summer. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKIKLMNM| The light is silent on the greeny sward | A |
| And from a bough above the wild dove's coo | B |
| Steals on the ear like a dream dewy word | C |
| Or the voice of one of a faery crew | B |
| The warmth within the azure of the hills | D |
| Breathes like the picture of a perfect thing | E |
| Which some supernal artist limning has | F |
| Made mystical with love's remembering | E |
| Now the faint murmur of the coming tide | G |
| Grows like a spirit in the quiet cove | H |
| While with a drowsy murmur kin to it | I |
| The brown bees among the sweet flowers rove | H |
| Here where the heart could fold itself and sleep | J |
| As if within a shining century | K |
| Naught seems to change but thought and even it | I |
| Makes every change a tender melody | K |
| All here is so remote from the world's care | L |
| As if it were a dream that would not fade | M |
| Amid so much that man has ruined here | N |
| Like some old world divineness that has stayed | M |
