The Poet's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB FGHGIGJThe rain had fallen the Poet arose | A |
He pass'd by the town and out of the street | B |
A light wind blew from the gates of the sun | C |
And waves of shadow went over the wheat | B |
And he sat him down in a lonely place | D |
And chanted a melody loud and sweet | B |
That made the wild swan pause in her cloud | E |
And the lark drop down at his feet | B |
- | |
- | |
The swallow stopt as he hunted the fly | F |
The snake slipt under a spray | G |
The wild hawk stood with the down on his beak | H |
And stared with his foot on the prey | G |
And the nightingale thought 'I have sung many songs | I |
But never a one so gay | G |
For he sings of what the world will be | J |
When the years have died away ' | - |
