The House Of The Life: Silent Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCCB DDEFGEYour hands lie open in the long fresh grass | A |
The finger points look through like rosy blooms | B |
Your eyes smile peace The pasture gleams and glooms | B |
'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass | B |
All round our nest far as the eye can pass | B |
Are golden kingcup fields with silver edge | C |
Where the cow parsley skirts the hawthorn hedge | C |
'Tis visible silence still as the hour glass | B |
- | |
Deep in the sun searched growths the dragon fly | D |
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky | D |
So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above | E |
Oh clasp we to our hearts for deathless dower | F |
This close companioned inarticulate hour | G |
When twofold silence was the song of love | E |
