Thoreau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACCDCDEDED| WHO nearer Nature s life would truly come | A |
| Must nearest come to him of whom I speak | B |
| He all kinds knew the vocal and the dumb | A |
| Masterful in genius was he and unique | B |
| Patient sagacious tender frolicsome | A |
| This Concord Pan would oft his whistle take | C |
| And forth from wood and fen field hill and lake | C |
| Trooping around him in their several guise | D |
| The shy inhabitants their haunts forsake | C |
| Then he like sop man would satirize | D |
| Hold up the image wild to clearest view | E |
| Of undiscerning manhood s puzzled eyes | D |
| And mocking say Lo mirrors here for you | E |
| Be true as these if ye would be more wise | D |
