An Open Fire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCCDBBDThese logs with drama and with dream are rife | A |
For all their golden Summers and green Springs | B |
Through leaf and root they sucked the forest's life | A |
Drank in its secret deep essential things | B |
Its midwood moods its mystic runes | C |
Its breathing hushes stirred of faery wings | B |
Its August nights and April noons | C |
The garnered fervors of forgotten Junes | C |
Flare forth again and waste away | D |
And in the sap that leaps and sings | B |
We hear again the chant the cricket flings | B |
Across the hawthorn scented dusks of May | D |
