Hoarded Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCD EFEFAI said 'Nay pluck not let the first fruit be | A |
Even as thou sayest it is sweet and red | B |
But let it ripen still The tree's bent head | B |
Sees in the stream its own fecundity | A |
And bides the day of fulness Shall not we | A |
At the sun's hour that day possess the shade | C |
And claim our fruit before its ripeness fade | C |
And eat it from the branch and praise the tree ' | D |
- | |
I say 'Alas our fruit hath wooed the sun | E |
Too long 'tis fallen and floats adown the stream | F |
Lo the last clusters Pluck them every one | E |
And let us sup with summer ere the gleam | F |
Of autumn set the year's pent sorrow free | A |
And the woods wail like echoes from the sea ' | - |
