The Trees Of The Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEEDFFYe who have passed Death's haggard hills and ye | A |
Whom trees that knew your sires shall cease to know | B |
And still stand silent is it all a show | B |
A wisp that laughs upon the wall decree | A |
Of some inexorable supremacy | A |
Which ever as man strains his blind surmise | C |
From depth to ominous depth looks past his eyes | C |
Sphinx faced with unabashed augury | A |
- | |
Nay rather question the Earth's self Invoke | D |
The storm felled forest trees moss grown to day | E |
Whose roots are hillocks where the children play | E |
Or ask the silver sapling 'neath what yoke | D |
Those stars his spray crown's clustering gems shall wage | F |
Their journey still when his boughs shrink with age | F |
