The Sun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEFGHIIJJKKLLMM| Through the streets where at windows of old houses | A |
| the persian blinds hide secret luxuries | B |
| when the cruel sun strikes with redoubled fury | C |
| on the roofs and fields the meadows and city | C |
| I go alone in my crazy sword play | D |
| scenting a chance rhyme on every road way | D |
| stumbling on words and over the pavement | E |
| finding verses I often dreamed might be sent | F |
| This nurturing father anaemia s foe | G |
| stirs in the fields the worm and the rose | H |
| makes our cares evaporate into the blue | I |
| fills the hives and our brains with honey dew | I |
| It is he who gives youth to the old man the cripple | J |
| makes them like young girls happy and gentle | J |
| and commands the crops to grow ripe in an hour | K |
| of the immortal heart that so longs to flower | K |
| When he shines on the town a poet that sings | L |
| he redeems the fate of the meanest things | L |
| like a king he enters no servants alone | M |
| all palaces all hospitals where men moan | M |
