Scent Of Irises Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEFEDG HIDIJI KLMLNL OBEBLE PQRSQR| A Faint sickening scent of irises | A |
| Persists all morning Here in a jar on the table | B |
| A fine proud spike of purple irises | A |
| Rising above the class room litter makes me unable | B |
| To see the class's lifted and bended faces | C |
| Save in a broken pattern amid purple and gold and sable | B |
| - | |
| I can smell the gorgeous bog end in its breathless | D |
| Dazzle of may blobs when the marigold glare overcast you | E |
| With fire on your cheeks and your brow and your chin as you dipped | F |
| Your face in the marigold bunch to touch and contrast you | E |
| Your own dark mouth with the bridal faint lady smocks | D |
| Dissolved on the golden sorcery you should not outlast | G |
| - | |
| You amid the bog end's yellow incantation | H |
| You sitting in the cowslips of the meadow above | I |
| Me your shadow on the bog flame flowery may blobs | D |
| Me full length in the cowslips muttering you love | I |
| You your soul like a lady smock lost evanescent | J |
| You with your face all rich like the sheen of a dove | I |
| - | |
| You are always asking do I remember remember | K |
| The butter cup bog end where the flowers rose up | L |
| And kindled you over deep with a cast of gold | M |
| You ask again do the healing days close up | L |
| The open darkness which then drew us in | N |
| The dark which then drank up our brimming cup | L |
| - | |
| You upon the dry dead beech leaves in the fire of night | O |
| Burnt like a sacrifice you invisible | B |
| Only the fire of darkness and the scent of you | E |
| And yes thank God it still is possible | B |
| The healing days shall close the darkness up | L |
| Wherein we fainted like a smoke or dew | E |
| - | |
| Like vapour dew or poison Now thank God | P |
| The fire of night is gone and your face is ash | Q |
| Indistinguishable on the grey chill day | R |
| The night has burnt us out at last the good | S |
| Dark fire burns on untroubled without clash | Q |
| Of you upon the dead leaves saying me Yea | R |
