Improvisations: Light And Snow: 13 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEFGHIJKLMNOFPQR SMy heart is an old house and in that forlorn old house | A |
In the very centre dark and forgotten | B |
Is a locked room where an enchanted princess | C |
Lies sleeping | D |
But sometimes in that dark house | A |
As if almost from the stars far away | E |
Sounds whisper in that secret room | F |
Faint voices music a dying trill of laughter | G |
And suddenly from her long sleep | H |
The beautiful princess awakes and dances | I |
Who is she I do not know | J |
Why does she dance Do not ask me | K |
Yet to day when I saw you | L |
When I saw your eyes troubled with the trouble of happiness | M |
And your mouth trembling into a smile | N |
And your fingers pull shyly forward | O |
Softly in that room | F |
The little princess arose | P |
And danced | Q |
And as she danced the old house gravely trembled | R |
With its vague and delicious secret | S |
