Variation On A Theme By Rilke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAFGHI| A certain day became a presence to me | A |
| there it was confronting me a sky air light | B |
| a being And before it started to descend | C |
| from the height of noon it leaned over | D |
| and struck my shoulder as if with | E |
| the flat of a sword granting me | A |
| honor and a task The day's blow | F |
| rang out metallic or it was I a bell awakened | G |
| and what I heard was my whole self | H |
| saying and singing what it knew I can | I |
