White Currants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDAAEAAAFGE| Shall I give you white currants | A |
| I do not know why but I have a sudden fancy for this fruit | B |
| At the moment the idea of them cherishes my senses | A |
| And they seem more desirable than flawless emeralds | A |
| Since I am in fact empty handed | C |
| I might have chosen gems out of India | D |
| But I choose white currants | A |
| Is it because the raucous wind is hurtling round the house corners | A |
| I see it with curled lips and stripped fangs gaunt and haunting energy | E |
| Come to snout and nibble and kill the little crocus roots | A |
| Shall we call it white currants | A |
| You may consider it as a symbol if you pelase | A |
| You may find them tart or sweet or merely agreeable in colour | F |
| So long as you accept them | G |
| And me | E |
