When It Clears Up Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB CDED AFGF HIJI EKLK LMCN OPQP| The lake is like a giant saucer | A |
| Beyond a gathering of clouds | B |
| Like stern and dazzling mountain ranges | C |
| Their massif the horizon crowds | B |
| - | |
| And with the light that swiftly changes | C |
| The landscape never stays the same | D |
| One moment clad in sooty shadows | E |
| The next the woods are all aflame | D |
| - | |
| When after days of rainy weather | A |
| The heavy curtain is withdrawn | F |
| How festive is the sky burst open | G |
| How full of triumph is the lawn | F |
| - | |
| The wind dies down the distance lightens | H |
| And sunshine spreads upon the grass | I |
| The steaming foliage is translucent | J |
| Like figures in stained window glass | I |
| - | |
| Thus from the church's narrow windows | E |
| In glimmering crowns on spreading wings | K |
| Gaze into time in sleepless vigil | L |
| Saints hermits prophets angels kings | K |
| - | |
| The whole wide world is a cathedral | L |
| I stand inside the air is calm | M |
| And from afar at times there reaches | C |
| My ear the echo of a psalm | N |
| - | |
| World Nature Universe's Essence | O |
| With secret trembling to the end | P |
| I will thy long and moving service | Q |
| In tears of happiness attend | P |
