At The Royal Academy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAB CCC DDD EEE FFF| These summer landscapes clump and copse and croft | A |
| Woodland and meadowland here hung aloft | A |
| Gay with limp grass and leafery new and soft | B |
| - | |
| Seem caught from the immediate season's yield | C |
| I saw last noonday shining over the field | C |
| By rapid snatch while still are uncongealed | C |
| - | |
| The saps that in their live originals climb | D |
| Yester's quick greenage here set forth in mime | D |
| Just as it stands now at our breathing time | D |
| - | |
| But these young foils so fresh upon each tree | E |
| Soft verdures spread in sprouting novelty | E |
| Are not this summer's though they feign to be | E |
| - | |
| Last year their May to Michaelmas term was run | F |
| Last autumn browned and buried every one | F |
| And no more know they sight of any sun | F |
