Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEB CAE FGHIJHHHIJ KLJCKJLKBCBHIIH

Sweet sweet and the soft listening heaven reelsA
In one blue ecstasy above thy songB
In the red heart of all the opening yearC
In the hushed murmur of low dreaming fieldsD
Hung under heaven twixt dim blue and blueE
Where the young Summer purpled and pearled in dewE
Mirrors herself in June and knows no wrongB
-
Sweet sweet throwing thy lack of fearC
Back to the heart of God till heaven feelsA
The throbbing of earth s music through and throughE
-
Dreaming in song great pulsing hearted hillsF
Cradling the dawn in mists and purple veilsG
Of vapors over pearls of lakes and brooksH
Girdled about the neck of half the worldI
When the red birth of the young dreaming JuneJ
Kisses the lands with gales and murmurs and trillsH
Of melody lips that blossom with talesH
Of music and color and form and beauty of looksH
And snowy argosies in heaven furledI
All summer set to one sweet warbled tuneJ
-
And thou red throated comest back to meK
Here in the bare November bleak and chillL
Breathing the red ripe of the lusty JuneJ
Over the rime of withered field and mereC
O heart of music while I dream of theeK
Thou gladdest note in the dead Summer s tuneJ
Great God thou liest dead outside my sillL
Starved of the last chill berry on thy treeK
Like some sweet instrument left all unstrungB
The melodious orchestra of all the yearC
Dead with the sweet dead summer thou had st sungB
Dead with the dead year s voices and clasp of handsH
Dead with all music and love and laughter and lightI
While chilly and bleak comes up the winter nightI
And shrieks the gust across the leafless landsH
