The Elms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC EFGEFE| Fine as the dust of plumy fountains blowing | A |
| Across the lanterns of a revelling night | B |
| The tiny leaves of April's earliest growing | A |
| Powder the trees so vaporously light | B |
| They seem to float billows of emerald foam | C |
| Blown by the South on its bright airy tide | D |
| Seeming less trees than things beatified | D |
| Come from the world of thought which was their home | C |
| - | |
| For a while only Rooted strong and fast | E |
| Soon will they lift towards the summer sky | F |
| Their mountain mass of clotted greenery | G |
| Their immaterial season quickly past | E |
| They grow opaque and therefore needs must die | F |
| Since every earth to earth returns at last | E |
