May Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDA EFEFGG| I lie stretched out upon the window seat | A |
| And doze and read a page or two and doze | B |
| And feel the air like water on me close | C |
| Great waves of sunny air that lip and beat | A |
| With a small noise monotonous and sweet | A |
| Against the window and the scent of cool | D |
| Frail flowers by some brown and dew drenched pool | D |
| Possesses me from drowsy head to feet | A |
| - | |
| This is the time of all sufficing laughter | E |
| At idiotic things some one has done | F |
| And there is neither past nor vague hereafter | E |
| And all your body stretches in the sun | F |
| And drinks the light in like a liquid thing | G |
| Filled with the divine languor of late spring | G |
