Milton Read Again (in Surrey) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC BEEB FGGF HCCHThree golden months while summer on us stole | A |
I have read your joyful tale another time | B |
Breathing more freely in that larger clime | B |
And learning wiselier to deserve the whole | A |
- | |
Your Spirit Master has been close at hand | C |
And guided me still pointing treasures rare | D |
Thick sown where I before saw nothing fair | D |
And finding waters in the barren land | C |
- | |
Barren once thought because my eyes were dim | B |
Like one I am grown to whom the common field | E |
And often wandered copse one morning yield | E |
New pleasures suddenly for over him | B |
- | |
Falls the weird spirit of unexplained delight | F |
New mystery in every shady place | G |
In every whispering tree a nameless grace | G |
New rapture on the windy seaward height | F |
- | |
So may she come to me teaching me well | H |
To savour all these sweets that lie to hand | C |
In wood and lane about this pleasant land | C |
Though it be not the land where I would dwell | H |
