Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJIJ KLKL| Give me the pulse of the tide again | A |
| And the slow lapse of the leaves | B |
| The rustling gold of a field of grain | C |
| And a bird in the nested eaves | B |
| - | |
| And a fishing smack in the old harbour | D |
| Where all was happy and young | E |
| And an echo or two of the songs I knew | F |
| When songs could still be sung | E |
| - | |
| For I would empty my heart of all | G |
| This world's implacable roar | H |
| And I would turn to my home and fall | G |
| Asleep in my home once more | H |
| - | |
| And I would forget what the cities say | I |
| And the folly of all the wise | J |
| And turn to my own true folk this day | I |
| And the love in their constant eyes | J |
| - | |
| There is peace peace where the sea birds wheel | K |
| And peace in the breaking wave | L |
| And I have a broken heart to heal | K |
| And a broken soul to save | L |
