A Song Of Delight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JJKJ ILGL HMNM OHIH| Oh Have you stolen out one summer morning | A |
| To pick white crocus neath the garden wall | B |
| Or shaken softly the big scented roses | C |
| And watched the dew drops fall | B |
| - | |
| Or slipt beneath the rail fence grey with lichen | D |
| And found the little brown path to the creek | E |
| In the deep hush of morn when all was silent | F |
| And soft airs fanned your cheek | E |
| - | |
| And caught he subtle scent of earth and mosses | G |
| Of tender water violets blue and white | H |
| Or heard a little brown bird thrill with rapture | I |
| Deep hidden out of sight | H |
| - | |
| Or have you tracked a coachman s whip at noon day | J |
| Through spicy scrub with tropic orchids gay | J |
| Following its mocking whish h with eager footsteps | K |
| Until it dies away | J |
| - | |
| Oh have you caught the breath of glowing summer | I |
| Rich with ripe passion fruit and blackberry wine | L |
| Gone berry hunting by the river reaches | G |
| Where dancing waters shine | L |
| - | |
| Or have you seem the deep scrub aisles by moonlight | H |
| Where scented jasmine gleamed amid the shade | M |
| Where moonrays lit great banks of white rock lilies | N |
| And listened unafraid | M |
| - | |
| To the soft stir of unseen life about you | O |
| Give thanks to God then for your heart is right | H |
| The treasure house of Nature yours forever | I |
| Her realms of pure delight | H |
