Hope And Despair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFDE GCHHIC IJKKIJ LMNOLM PQRRSQ TCONTCYou love the sun and the languid breeze | A |
That gently kisses the rosebud's lips | B |
And delight to see | C |
How the dainty bee | C |
Stilling his gauze winged melodies | A |
Into the lily's chalice dips | B |
- | |
I love the wind that unceasing roars | D |
While cringe the trees from its wrath in vain | E |
And the lightning flash | F |
And the thunder crash | F |
And skies from whose Erebus depths outpours | D |
In slanting drifts the autumnal rain | E |
- | |
You sigh to find that the time is here | G |
When leaves are falling from bush and tree | C |
When the flowerets sweet | H |
Die beneath our feet | H |
And feebly totters the dying year | I |
Into the mists of eternity | C |
- | |
To me the autumn is never drear | I |
It bears the glory of hopes fulfilled | J |
Though the flowers be dead | K |
There are seeds instead | K |
That with the spring of the dawning year | I |
With life will find all their being thrilled | J |
- | |
You tread the wood and the wind behold | L |
Tear down the leaves from the crackling bough | M |
Till they make a pall | N |
As they thickly fall | O |
To hide dead flowers The air seems cold | L |
No summer gladdens the forest now | M |
- | |
I tread the maze of the changing wood | P |
And though no light through the maples plays | Q |
Yet they glow each one | R |
Like a rose red sun | R |
And drop their leaves like a glittering flood | S |
Of warm sunbeams in the woodland ways | Q |
- | |
Poor human heart in the year of life | T |
All seasons are and it rests with thee | C |
To enjoy them all | O |
Or to drape a pall | N |
O'er withered hopes and to be at strife | T |
With things that are and no brightness see | C |
