The Wood-god Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBCDEDEFGGFHHIJJI| Brother lost brother | A |
| Thou of mine ancient kin | B |
| Thou of the swift will that no ponderings smother | A |
| The dumb life in me fumbles out to the shade | C |
| Thou lurkest in | B |
| In vain evasive ever through the glade | C |
| Departing footsteps fail | D |
| And only where the grasses have been pressed | E |
| Or by snapped twigs I follow a fruitless trail | D |
| So give o'er the quest | E |
| Sprawl on the roots and moss | F |
| Let the lithe garter squirm across my throat | G |
| Let the slow clouds and leaves above me float | G |
| Into mine eyeballs and across | F |
| Nor think them further Lo the marvel now | H |
| Thou whom my soul desireth even thou | H |
| Sprawl'st by my side who fled'st at my pursuit | I |
| I hear thy fluting at my shoulder there | J |
| I see the sharp ears through the tangled hair | J |
| And birds and bunnies at thy music mute | I |
