Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIJKL L| The Muses' friend grey eyed Aurora yet | A |
| Held all the meadows in a cooling sweat | A |
| The milk white gossamers not upwards snow'd | B |
| Nor was the sharp and useful steering goad | B |
| Laid on the strong neck'd ox no gentle bud | C |
| The sun had dried the cattle chew'd the cud | C |
| Low levell'd on the grass no fly's quick sting | D |
| Enforc'd the stonehorse in a furious ring | D |
| To tear the passive earth nor lash his tail | E |
| About his buttocks broad the slimy snail | E |
| Might on the wainscot by his many mazes | F |
| Winding meanders and self knitting traces | G |
| Be follow'd where he stuck his glittering slime | H |
| Not yet wip'd off It was so early time | H |
| The careful smith had in his sooty forge | I |
| Kindled no coal nor did his hammers urge | J |
| His neighbours' patience owls abroad did fly | K |
| And day as then might plead his in fancy | L |
| - | |
| From Britannia's Pastorals | L |
