From A Poem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIG GJKLMNMOM PJQRPSPSDDTUKV WXYPDZDA2B2C2B2| I also loved and the restless breaths | A |
| Of sleeplessness fluttering through darkness | B |
| Out of the park would downward drift | C |
| To the ravine on to the archipelago | D |
| Of meadows sinking from sight among | E |
| Wormwood mint and quails beneath the wispy mist | F |
| And the broad sweep of adoration's wing grew | G |
| Heavy and drunken as though stung by shot | H |
| Floundered into the air and shuddering fell short | I |
| Scattering across the fields as dew | G |
| - | |
| And then the dawn was breaking Till two | G |
| Rich jewels blinked in the incalculable sky | J |
| But then the cocks began to feel afraid | K |
| Of darkness and strove to hide their fright | L |
| But in their throats blank mines exploded | M |
| As they strained fear's putrid voice erupted | N |
| As though by order as the constellations faded | M |
| A shepherd goggle eyed as though from snuffing candles | O |
| Made his appearance where the forest ended | M |
| - | |
| I also loved and she it well may be | P |
| Is living yet The time will pass on by | J |
| Till something large as autumn one fine day | Q |
| If not tomorrow then perhaps some other time | R |
| Will blaze out over life like sunset's glow in pity | P |
| For the thicket For the foolish puddle's tormenting | S |
| Toadish thirst For the clearings trembling timidly | P |
| As hares their ears tight muffled in the wrapping | S |
| Of last year's fallen leaves For the noise as though | D |
| False waves are pounding on the shores of long ago | D |
| I also loved and know as damp mown fields | T |
| Are laid by the ages at each year's feet | U |
| So the fevering newness of the worlds is laid | K |
| By love at the bed head of every heart | V |
| - | |
| I also loved and she is living still | W |
| Cascading into that first earliness as ever | X |
| Time stands still vanishing away as it spills | Y |
| Over the moment's edge Subtle as ever this boundary | P |
| Still as before how recent seems the long ago | D |
| Time past streams from the faces of those who saw | Z |
| Playing still its crazy tricks as if it did not know | D |
| It has no tenancy in our house any more | A2 |
| Can it be so Does love really not last | B2 |
| This momentary tribute of bright wonderment | C2 |
| But ever all our life recede into the past | B2 |
