The Waving Of The Corn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCBDD EAEAEAFFDD GHGHGHIIDD J| Ploughman whose gnarly hand yet kindly wheeled | A |
| Thy plough to ring this solitary tree | B |
| With clover whose round plat reserved a field | A |
| In cool green radius twice my length may be | B |
| Scanting the corn thy furrows else might yield | A |
| To pleasure August bees fair thoughts and me | B |
| That here come oft together daily I | C |
| Stretched prone in summer's mortal ecstasy | B |
| Do stir with thanks to thee as stirs this morn | D |
| With waving of the corn | D |
| - | |
| Unseen the farmer's boy from round the hill | E |
| Whistles a snatch that seeks his soul unsought | A |
| And fills some time with tune howbeit shrill | E |
| The cricket tells straight on his simple thought | A |
| Nay 'tis the cricket's way of being still | E |
| The peddler bee drones in and gossips naught | A |
| Far down the wood a one desiring dove | F |
| Times me the beating of the heart of love | F |
| And these be all the sounds that mix each morn | D |
| With waving of the corn | D |
| - | |
| From here to where the louder passions dwell | G |
| Green leagues of hilly separation roll | H |
| Trade ends where yon far clover ridges swell | G |
| Ye terrible Towns ne'er claim the trembling soul | H |
| That craftless all to buy or hoard or sell | G |
| From out your deadly complex quarrel stole | H |
| To company with large amiable trees | I |
| Suck honey summer with unjealous bees | I |
| And take Time's strokes as softly as this morn | D |
| Takes waving of the corn | D |
