On A Primitive Canoe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Here passing lonely down this quiet lane | A |
| Before a mud splashed window long I pause | B |
| To gaze and gaze while through my active brain | A |
| Still thoughts are stirred to wakefulness because | B |
| Long long ago in a dim unknown land | C |
| A massive forest tree ax felled adze hewn | D |
| Was deftly done by cunning mortal hand | C |
| Into a symbol of the tender moon | D |
| Why does it thrill more than the handsome boat | E |
| That bore me o'er the wild Atlantic ways | F |
| And fill me with rare sense of things remote | E |
| From this harsh land of fretful nights and days | F |
| I cannot answer but whate'er it be | G |
| An old wine has intoxicated me | G |
