The Loom Of Years Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEF GGCC HIJJ KKCC LLMM NNCCIn the light of the silent stars that shine on the struggling sea | A |
In the weary cry of the wind and the whisper of flower and tree | A |
Under the breath of laughter deep in the tide of tears | B |
I hear the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of Years | C |
- | |
The leaves of the winter wither and sink in the forest mould | D |
To colour the flowers of April with purple and white and gold | D |
Light and scent and music die and are born again | E |
In the heart of a grey haired woman who wakes in a world of pain | F |
- | |
The hound the fawn and the hawk and the doves that croon and coo | G |
We are all one woof of the weaving and the one warp threads us through | G |
One flying cloud on the shuttle that carries our hopes and fears | C |
As it goes thro the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of Years | C |
- | |
The green uncrumpling fern and the rustling dewdrenched rose | H |
Pass with our hearts to the Silence where the wings of music close | I |
Pass and pass to the Timeless that never a moment mars | J |
Pass and pass to the Darkness that made the suns and stars | J |
- | |
Has the soul gone out in the Darkness Is the dust sealed from sight | K |
Ah hush for the woof of the ages returns thro the warp of the night | K |
Never that shuttle loses one thread of our hopes and fears | C |
As it comes thro the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of Years | C |
- | |
O woven in one wide Loom thro the throbbing weft of the whole | L |
One in spirit and flesh one in body and soul | L |
Tho the leaf were alone in its falling the bird in its hour to die | M |
The heart in its muffled anguish the sea in its mournful cry | M |
- | |
One with the flower of a day one with the withered moon | N |
One with the granite mountains that melt into the noon | N |
One with the dream that triumphs beyond the light of the spheres | C |
We come from the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of Years | C |
