How to annotate?How to annotate?

SonnetI love to see the summer beaming forthAnd white wool sack clouds sailing to the northI love to see the wild flowers come againAnd mare blobs stain with gold the meadow drainAnd water lillies whiten on the floodsWhere reed clumps rustle like a wind shook woodWhere from her hiding place the Moor Hen pushesAnd seeks her flag nest floating in bull rushesI like the willow leaning half way o'erThe clear deep lake to stand upon its shoreI love the hay grass when the flower head swingsTo summer winds and insects happy wingsThat sport about the meadow the bright dayAnd see bright beetles in the clear lake play
