Planting Bamboos Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLEMUnrewarded my will to serve the State | A |
At my closed door autumn grasses grow | B |
What could I do to ease a rustic heart | C |
I planted bamboo more than a hundred shoots | D |
When I see their beauty as they grow by the stream side | E |
I feel again as though I lived in the hills | F |
And many a time on public holidays | G |
Round their railing I walk till night comes | H |
Do not say that their roots are still weak | I |
Do not say that their shade is still small | J |
Already I feel that both in garden and house | K |
Day by day a fresher air moves | L |
But most I love lying near the window side | E |
to hear in their branches the sound of the autumn wind | M |
