Madonna Of The Evening Flowers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHICA CJKJLM ANOPJJJQR| All day long I have been working | A |
| Now I am tired | B |
| I call Where are you | C |
| But there is only the oak tree rustling in the wind | D |
| The house is very quiet | E |
| The sun shines in on your books | F |
| On your scissors and thimble just put down | G |
| But you are not there | H |
| Suddenly I am lonely | I |
| Where are you | C |
| I go about searching | A |
| - | |
| Then I see you | C |
| Standing under a spire of pale blue larkspur | J |
| With a basket of roses on your arm | K |
| You are cool like silver | J |
| And you smile | L |
| I think the Canterbury bells are playing little tunes | M |
| - | |
| You tell me that the peonies need spraying | A |
| That the columbines have overrun all bounds | N |
| That the pyrus japonica should be cut back and rounded | O |
| You tell me these things | P |
| But I look at you heart of silver | J |
| White heart flame of polished silver | J |
| Burning beneath the blue steeples of the larkspur | J |
| And I long to kneel instantly at your feet | Q |
| While all about us peal the loud sweet 'Te Deums' of the Canterbury bells | R |
