Foster The Light Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEC FGHIJH KKLKMM MMNMOC PQRSMC| Foster the light nor veil the manshaped moon | A |
| Nor weather winds that blow not down the bone | B |
| But strip the twelve winded marrow from his circle | C |
| Master the night nor serve the snowman's brain | D |
| That shapes each bushy item of the air | E |
| Into a polestar pointed on an icicle | C |
| - | |
| Murmur of spring nor crush the cockerel's eggs | F |
| Nor hammer back a season in the figs | G |
| But graft these four fruited ridings on your country | H |
| Farmer in time of frost the burning leagues | I |
| By red eyed orchards sow the seeds of snow | J |
| In your young years the vegetable century | H |
| - | |
| And father all nor fail the fly lord's acre | K |
| Nor sprout on owl seed like a goblin sucker | K |
| But rail with your wizard's ribs the heart shaped planet | L |
| Of mortal voices to the ninnies' choir | K |
| High lord esquire speak up the singing cloud | M |
| And pluck a mandrake music from the marrowroot | M |
| - | |
| Roll unmanly over this turning tuft | M |
| O ring of seas nor sorrow as I shift | M |
| From all my mortal lovers with a starboard smile | N |
| Nor when my love lies in the cross boned drift | M |
| Naked among the bow and arrow birds | O |
| Shall you turn cockwise on a tufted axle | C |
| - | |
| Who gave these seas their colour in a shape | P |
| Shaped my clayfellow and the heaven's ark | Q |
| In time at flood filled with his coloured doubles | R |
| O who is glory in the shapeless maps | S |
| Now make the world of me as I have made | M |
| A merry manshape of your walking circle | C |
