In May Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFG GHHIIEEJJKK| Yes I will spend the livelong day | A |
| With Nature in this month of May | A |
| And sit beneath the trees and share | B |
| My bread with birds whose homes are there | B |
| While cows lie down to eat and sheep | C |
| Stand to their necks in grass so deep | C |
| While birds do sing with all their might | D |
| As though they felt the earth in flight | D |
| This is the hour I dreamed of when | E |
| I sat surrounded by poor men | E |
| And thought of how the Arab sat | F |
| Alone at evening gazing at | F |
| The stars that bubbled in clear skies | G |
| - | |
| And of young dreamers when their eyes | G |
| Enjoyed methought a precious boon | H |
| In the adventures of the Moon | H |
| Whose light behind the Clouds' dark bars | I |
| Searched for her stolen flocks of stars | I |
| When I hemmed in by wrecks of men | E |
| Thought of some lonely cottage then | E |
| Full of sweet books and miles of sea | J |
| With passing ships in front of me | J |
| And having on the other hand | K |
| A flowery green bird singing land | K |
