Perpetual Motion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED BFBFBGBG HDHDIBIB BIBIBJBJ| What said the poet should we care | A |
| For all this mad world's phantasies | B |
| For rumours rife upon the air | A |
| Of terrors looming overseas | B |
| If so the soul were plagued alway | C |
| With far fetched grieving what of mirth | D |
| For somewhere sorror broods all day | E |
| Yet laughter too inhabits earth | D |
| - | |
| For the sun shines and the grass grows | B |
| And the ferns nod above the stream | F |
| That down this placid valley flows | B |
| Then let us rest a while and dream | F |
| For the grass grows as the sun shines | B |
| And the stream flows and sings a song | G |
| To chide the sad heart that repines | B |
| Ah summer summer linger long | G |
| - | |
| What I gave answer badgers me | H |
| Are not the tragedies of earth | D |
| Despite your gay philosophy | H |
| Of seeking joy and claiming mirth | D |
| For boon companions as you go | I |
| Oft times these very joys oppress | B |
| And suns that shine and streams that flow | I |
| May be a source of weariness | B |
| - | |
| For the grass grows and the sun gleams | B |
| To sear the grass and where they flow | I |
| I must bring water from the streams | B |
| To make the blinking grass to grow | I |
| And the sun gleams and the grass grows | B |
| Indeed I know it well enough | J |
| For as it springs where water flows | B |
| I've got to cut the blasted stuff | J |
