A Forest Scene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDDE BFBFGHGGH IJIJKLKKL MNMNADAAD| As I went down a forest place | A |
| At the closing of the year | B |
| To find me peace and gather grace | A |
| In this green gladness here | C |
| I saw a scene I knew of old | D |
| In many a year gone by | E |
| A loveliness to have and hold | D |
| Here with the gully waters cold | D |
| And the bland blue peeping sky | E |
| - | |
| And I saw the blue wrens trooping near | B |
| And I heard the thrushes call | F |
| And found surcease from worldly fear | B |
| For a peace was over all | F |
| And my mind went back to long ago | G |
| For here was a scene I knew | H |
| Where the gums and ancient tree ferns grow | G |
| And the ever lasting waters flow | G |
| And life yields little new | H |
| - | |
| And I thought of the world of the world of men | I |
| Who ever seek them change | J |
| And haste and hectic haste again | I |
| To a goal beyond their range | J |
| And I heard the thrush and the blue wren there | K |
| Fluting their songs of glee | L |
| For them this world was passing fair | K |
| And they found content and gladness there | K |
| Why came not peace to me | L |
| - | |
| Then I saw life as men see life | M |
| I who am but a man | N |
| And I dreamed of a scene devoid of strife | M |
| Built on the good God's plan | N |
| And I came me back from that forest place | A |
| With a dream to have and hold | D |
| Of men with naught but life to face | A |
| Of men grown young in simple grace | A |
| And the birds and the bush grown old | D |
