Improvisations: Light And Snow: 08 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGCHIJKLMNOPQ| Many things perplex me and leave me troubled | A |
| Many things are locked away in the white book of stars | B |
| Never to be opened by me | C |
| The starr d leaves are silently turned | D |
| And the mooned leaves | E |
| And as they are turned fall the shadows of life and death | F |
| Perplexed and troubled | A |
| I light a small light in a small room | G |
| The lighted walls come closer to me | C |
| The familiar pictures are clear | H |
| I sit in my favourite chair and turn in my mind | I |
| The tiny pages of my own life whereon so little is written | J |
| And hear at the eastern window the pressure of a long wind coming | K |
| From I know not where | L |
| How many times have I sat here | M |
| How many times will I sit here again | N |
| Thinking these same things over and over in solitude | O |
| As a child says over and over | P |
| The first word he has learned to say | Q |
