The Beautiful American Word, Sure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEFG GHG HGHThe beautiful American word Sure | A |
As I have come into a room and touch | B |
The lamp's button and the light blooms with such | B |
Certainty where the darkness loomed before | C |
- | |
As I care for what I do not know and care | D |
Knowing for little she might not have been | E |
And for how little she would be unseen | F |
The intercourse of lives miraculous and dear | G |
- | |
Where the light is and each thing clear | G |
separate from all others standing in its place | H |
I drink the time and touch whatever's near | G |
- | |
And hope for day when the whole world has that face | H |
For what assures her present every year | G |
In dark accidents the mind's sufficient grace | H |
