Landscape Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEEEFFEEGGEH IIJJEE| In order to write my chaste verses I ll lie | A |
| like an astrologer near to the sky | A |
| and by the bell towers listen in dream | B |
| to their solemn hymns on the air stream | B |
| Hands on chin from my attic s height | C |
| I ll see the workshops of song and light | C |
| the gutters the belfries those masts of the city | D |
| the vast skies that yield dreams of eternity | D |
| It is sweet to see stars being born in the blue | E |
| through the mists the lamps at the windows too | E |
| the rivers of smoke climbing the firmament | E |
| and the moon pouring out her pale enchantment | E |
| I ll see the springs summers autumns glow | F |
| and when winter brings the monotonous snow | F |
| I ll close all my doors and shutters tight | E |
| and build palaces of faery in the night | E |
| Then I ll dream of blue wet horizons | G |
| weeping fountains of alabaster gardens | G |
| kisses birdsong at morning or twilight | E |
| all in the Idyll that is most childlike | H |
| The mob that are beating in vain on the glass | I |
| won t make me raise my head as they pass | I |
| Since I ll be plunged deep in the thrill | J |
| of evoking the springtime through my own will | J |
| raising the sun out of my own heart | E |
| making sweet air from my burning thought | E |
