From Early Dawn The Thirtieth Of April... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI FKGK GGGG FGGL FMKM GNGN OPQPFrom early dawn the thirtieth of April | A |
Is given up to children of the town | B |
And caught in trying on the festive necklace | C |
By dusk it only just is settling down | B |
- | |
Like heaps of squashy berries under muslin | D |
The town emerges out of crimson gauze | E |
Along the streets the boulevards are dragging | F |
Their twilight with them like a rank of dwarves | G |
- | |
The evening world is always eve and blossom | H |
But this one with a sprouting of its own | I |
From May day anniversaries will flower | J |
One day into a commune fully blown | I |
- | |
For long it will remain a day of shifting | F |
Pre festive cleaning fanciful decor | K |
As once it used to be with Whitsun birches | G |
Or pan Athenian fires long before | K |
- | |
Just so they will go on conveying actors | G |
To their assembly points beat sand just so | G |
Pull up towards illuminated ledges | G |
The plywood boards the crimson calico | G |
- | |
Just so in threes the sailors briskly walking | F |
Will skirt the grass in gardens and in parks | G |
The moon at nightfall sink into the pavements | G |
Like a dead city or a burnt out hearth | L |
- | |
But with each year more splendid and more spreading | F |
The taut beginning of the rose will bloom | M |
More clearly grow in health and sense of honour | K |
Sincerity more visibly will loom | M |
- | |
The living folksongs customs and traditions | G |
Will ever spreading many petalled lay | N |
Their scent on fields and industries and meadows | G |
From early buddings on the first of May | N |
- | |
Until the full fermented risen spirit | O |
Of ripened years will shoot up like the smell | P |
Of humid centifolia It will have to | Q |
Reveal itself it cannot help but tell | P |
