On A Drop Of Dew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDEFCCFGHHHIJHH KFKFCCLHLHMMNONOPPQQ| See how the orient dew | A |
| Shed from the bosom of the morn | B |
| Into the blowing roses | C |
| Yet careless of its mansion new | A |
| For the clear region where 'twas born | B |
| Round in its self incloses | C |
| And in its little globe's extent | D |
| Frames as it can its native element | E |
| How it the purple flow'r does slight | F |
| Scarce touching where it lies | C |
| But gazing back upon the skies | C |
| Shines with a mournful light | F |
| Like its own tear | G |
| Because so long divided from the sphere | H |
| Restless it rolls and unsecure | H |
| Trembling lest it grow impure | H |
| Till the warm sun pity its pain | I |
| And to the skies exhale it back again | J |
| So the soul that drop that ray | H |
| Of the clear fountain of eternal day | H |
| Could it within the human flow'r be seen | K |
| Rememb'ring still its former height | F |
| Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green | K |
| And recollecting its own light | F |
| Does in its pure and circling thoughts express | C |
| The greater Heaven in an Heaven less | C |
| In how coy a figure wound | L |
| Every way it turns away | H |
| So the world excluding round | L |
| Yet receiving in the day | H |
| Dark beneath but bright above | M |
| Here disdaining there in love | M |
| How loose and easy hence to go | N |
| How girt and ready to ascend | O |
| Moving but on a point below | N |
| It all about does upwards bend | O |
| Such did the manna's sacred dew distil | P |
| White and intire though congealed and chill | P |
| Congealed on earth but does dissolving run | Q |
| Into the glories of th' Almighty Sun | Q |
