Sunshine Through A Cobwebbed Window Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AACCA DDEED FFGGF| What charm is yours you faded old world tapestries | A |
| Of outworn childish mysteries | A |
| Vague pageants woven on a web of dream | B |
| And we pushing and fighting in the turbid stream | B |
| Of modern life find solace in your tarnished broideries | A |
| - | |
| Old lichened halls sun shaded by huge cedar trees | A |
| The layered branches horizontal stretched like Japanese | A |
| Dark banded prints Carven cathedrals on a sky | C |
| Of faintest colour where the gothic spires fly | C |
| And sway like masts against a shifting breeze | A |
| - | |
| Worm eaten pages clasped in old brown vellum shrunk | D |
| From over handling by some anxious monk | D |
| Or Virgin's Hours bright with gold and graven | E |
| With flowers and rare birds and all the Saints of Heaven | E |
| And Noah's ark stuck on Ararat when all the world had sunk | D |
| - | |
| They soothe us like a song heard in a garden sung | F |
| By youthful minstrels on the moonlight flung | F |
| In cadences and falls to ease a queen | G |
| Widowed and childless cowering in a screen | G |
| Of myrtles whose life hangs with all its threads unstrung | F |
