Adelaide Crapsey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB C D EFGG H| Among the bumble bees in red top hay a freckled field of brown eyed Susans dripping yellow leaves in July | A |
| I read your heart in a book | B |
| - | |
| And your mouth of blue pansy I know somewhere I have seen it rain shattered | C |
| - | |
| And I have seen a woman with her head flung between her naked knees and her head held there listening to the sea the great naked sea shouldering a load of salt | D |
| - | |
| And the blue pansy mouth sang to the sea | E |
| Mother of God I m so little a thing | F |
| Let me sing longer | G |
| Only a little longer | G |
| - | |
| And the sea shouldered its salt in long gray combers hauling new shapes on the beach sand | H |
