Improvisations: Light And Snow: 03 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGGHGIAJKFLGG| The first bell is silver | A |
| And breathing darkness I think only of the long scythe of time | B |
| The second bell is crimson | C |
| And I think of a holiday night with rockets | D |
| Furrowing the sky with red and a soft shatter of stars | E |
| The third bell is saffron and slow | F |
| And I behold a long sunset over the sea | G |
| With wall on wall of castled cloud and glittering balustrades | G |
| The fourth bell is color of bronze | G |
| I walk by a frozen lake in the dun light of dusk | H |
| Muffled crackings run in the ice | G |
| Trees creak birds fly | I |
| The fifth bell is cold clear azure | A |
| Delicately tinged with green | J |
| One golden star hangs melting in it | K |
| And towards this sleepily I go | F |
| The sixth bell is as if a pebble | L |
| Had been dropped into a deep sea far above me | G |
| Rings of sound ebb slowly into the silence | G |
