Life And Nature Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHAH AIFI AFDF DHDH AJFJ| I passed through the gates of the city | A |
| The streets were strange and still | B |
| Through the doors of the open churches | C |
| The organs were moaning shrill | B |
| - | |
| Through the doors and the great high windows | D |
| I heard the murmur of prayer | E |
| And the sound of their solemn singing | F |
| Streamed out on the sunlit air | E |
| - | |
| A sound of some great burden | G |
| That lay on the world's dark breast | H |
| Of the old and the sick and the lonely | A |
| And the weary that cried for rest | H |
| - | |
| I strayed through the midst of the city | A |
| Like one distracted or mad | I |
| Oh Life Oh Life I kept saying | F |
| And the very word seemed sad | I |
| - | |
| I passed through the gates of the city | A |
| And I heard the small birds sing | F |
| I laid me down in the meadows | D |
| Afar from the bell ringing | F |
| - | |
| In the depth and the bloom of the meadows | D |
| I lay on the earth's quiet breast | H |
| The poplar fanned me with shadows | D |
| And the veery sang me to rest | H |
| - | |
| Blue blue was the heaven above me | A |
| And the earth green at my feet | J |
| Oh Life Oh Life I kept saying | F |
| And the very word seemed sweet | J |
