Charles Webster Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDHIJKEDLMNOPQ RSTUVThe pine woods on the hill | A |
And the farmhouse miles away | B |
Showed clear as though behind a lens | C |
Under a sky of peacock blue | D |
But a blanket of cloud by afternoon | E |
Muffled the earth And you walked the road | F |
And the clover field where the only sound | G |
Was the cricket's liquid tremolo | D |
Then the sun went down between great drifts | H |
Of distant storms For a rising wind | I |
Swept clean the sky and blew the flames | J |
Of the unprotected stars | K |
And swayed the russet moon | E |
Hanging between the rim of the hill | D |
And the twinkling boughs of the apple orchard | L |
You walked the shore in thought | M |
Where the throats of the waves were like whip poor wills | N |
Singing beneath the water and crying | O |
To the wash of the wind in the cedar trees | P |
Till you stood too full for tears by the cot | Q |
And looking up saw Jupiter | R |
Tipping the spire of the giant pine | S |
And looking down saw my vacant chair | T |
Rocked by the wind on the lonely porch | U |
Be brave Beloved | V |
