Being But Men Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ KLM NJO A| Being but men we walked into the trees | A |
| Afraid letting our syllables be soft | B |
| For fear of waking the rooks | C |
| For fear of coming | D |
| Noiselessly into a world of wings and cries | E |
| - | |
| If we were children we might climb | F |
| Catch the rooks sleeping and break no twig | G |
| And after the soft ascent | H |
| Thrust out our heads above the branches | I |
| To wonder at the unfailing stars | J |
| - | |
| Out of confusion as the way is | K |
| And the wonder that man knows | L |
| Out of the chaos would come bliss | M |
| - | |
| That then is loveliness we said | N |
| Children in wonder watching the stars | J |
| Is the aim and the end | O |
| - | |
| Being but men we walked into the trees | A |
