Behind A Wall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEEFGH IJJIKK LMMLNN| I own a solace shut within my heart | A |
| A garden full of many a quaint delight | B |
| And warm with drowsy poppied sunshine bright | B |
| Flaming with lilies out of whose cups dart | A |
| Shining things | C |
| With powdered wings | C |
| - | |
| Here terrace sinks to terrace arbors close | D |
| The ends of dreaming paths a wanton wind | E |
| Jostles the half ripe pears and then unkind | E |
| Tumbles a slumber in a pillar rose | F |
| With content | G |
| Grown indolent | H |
| - | |
| By night my garden is o'erhung with gems | I |
| Fixed in an onyx setting Fireflies | J |
| Flicker their lanterns in my dazzled eyes | J |
| In serried rows I guess the straight stiff stems | I |
| Of hollyhocks | K |
| Against the rocks | K |
| - | |
| So far and still it is that listening | L |
| I hear the flowers talking in the dawn | M |
| And where a sunken basin cuts the lawn | M |
| Cinctured with iris pale and glistening | L |
| The sudden swish | N |
| Of a waking fish | N |
