An Impromptu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEEDECEE FGEGEHEHG HIHIJKLLK| Here in the pungent gloom | A |
| Where the tamarac roses glow | B |
| And the balsam burns its perfume | A |
| A vireo turns his slow | B |
| Cadence as if he gloated | C |
| Over the last phrase he floated | D |
| Each one he moulds and mellows | E |
| Matching it with its fellows | E |
| So have you noted | D |
| How the oboe croons | E |
| The canary throated | C |
| In the gloom of the violoncellos | E |
| And bassoons | E |
| - | |
| But afar in the thickset forest | F |
| I hear a sound go free | G |
| Crashing the stately neighbours | E |
| The pine and the cedar tree | G |
| Horns and harps and tabors | E |
| Drumming and harping and horning | H |
| In savage minstrelsy | E |
| It wakes in my soul a warning | H |
| Of the wind of destiny | G |
| - | |
| My life is soaring and swinging | H |
| In triple walls of quiet | I |
| In my heart there is rippling and ringing | H |
| A song with melodious riot | I |
| When a fateful thing comes nigh it | J |
| A hush falls and then | K |
| I hear in the thickset world | L |
| The wind of destiny hurled | L |
| On the lives of men | K |
