An Impromptu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEEDECEE FGEGEHEHG HIHIJKLLK

Here in the pungent gloomA
Where the tamarac roses glowB
And the balsam burns its perfumeA
A vireo turns his slowB
Cadence as if he gloatedC
Over the last phrase he floatedD
Each one he moulds and mellowsE
Matching it with its fellowsE
So have you notedD
How the oboe croonsE
The canary throatedC
In the gloom of the violoncellosE
And bassoonsE
-
But afar in the thickset forestF
I hear a sound go freeG
Crashing the stately neighboursE
The pine and the cedar treeG
Horns and harps and taborsE
Drumming and harping and horningH
In savage minstrelsyE
It wakes in my soul a warningH
Of the wind of destinyG
-
My life is soaring and swingingH
In triple walls of quietI
In my heart there is rippling and ringingH
A song with melodious riotI
When a fateful thing comes nigh itJ
A hush falls and thenK
I hear in the thickset worldL
The wind of destiny hurledL
On the lives of menK
