August Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDC EFFGEFFGWhen my eyes are weeds | A |
And my lips are petals spinning | B |
Down the wind that has beginning | B |
Where the crumpled beeches start | C |
In a fringe of salty reeds | A |
When my arms are elder bushes | D |
And the rangy lilac pushes | D |
Upward upward through my heart | C |
- | |
Summer do your worst | E |
Light your tinsel moon and call on | F |
Your performing stars to fall on | F |
Headlong through your paper sky | G |
Nevermore shall I be cursed | E |
By a flushed and amorous slattern | F |
With her dusty laces' pattern | F |
Trailing as she straggles by | G |
