The Castaways Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGThe vivid grass with visible delight | A |
Springing triumphant from the pregnant earth | B |
The butterflies and sparrows in brief flight | A |
Chirping and dancing for the season's birth | B |
The dandelions and rare daffodils | C |
That touch the deep stirred heart with hands of gold | D |
The thrushes sending forth their joyous trills | C |
Not these not these did I at first behold | D |
But seated on the benches daubed with green | E |
The castaways of life a few asleep | F |
Some withered women desolate and mean | E |
And over all life's shadows dark and deep | F |
Moaning I turned away for misery | G |
I have the strength to bear but not to see | G |
