An Old Lesson From The Fields Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBA DBEEBD| Even as I watched the daylight how it sped | A |
| From noon till eve and saw the light wind pass | B |
| In long pale waves across the flashing grass | B |
| And heard through all my dreams wherever led | A |
| The thin cicada singing overhead | A |
| I felt what joyance all this nature has | C |
| And saw myself made clear as in a glass | B |
| How that my soul was for the most part dead | A |
| - | |
| Oh light I cried and heaven with all your blue | D |
| Oh earth with all your sunny fruitfulness | B |
| And ye tall lillies of the wind vexed field | E |
| What power and beauty life indeed might yield | E |
| Could we but cast away its conscious stress | B |
| Simple of heart becoming even as you | D |
