A Forecast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DDEFFEWhat days await this woman whose strange feet | A |
Breathe spells whose presence makes men dream like wine | B |
Tall free and slender as the forest pine | B |
Whose form is moulded music through whose sweet | A |
Frank eyes I feel the very heart's least beat | A |
Keen passionate full of dreams and fire | C |
How in the end and to what man's desire | C |
Shall all this yield whose lips shall these lips meet | A |
- | |
One thing I know if he be great and pure | D |
This love this fire this beauty shall endure | D |
Triumph and hope shall lead him by the palm | E |
But if not this some differing thing he be | F |
That dream shall break in terror he shall see | F |
The whirlwind ripen where he sowed the calm | E |
