Gustav Richter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDDHFGIJFFKLMF FNFOP| After a long day of work in my hot houses | A |
| Sleep was sweet but if you sleep on your left side | B |
| Your dreams may be abruptly ended | C |
| I was among my flowers where some one | D |
| Seemed to be raising them on trial | E |
| As if after while to be transplanted | F |
| To a larger garden of freer air | G |
| And I was disembodied vision | D |
| Amid a light as it were the sun | D |
| Had floated in and touched the roof of glass | H |
| Like a toy balloon and softly bursted | F |
| And etherealized in golden air | G |
| And all was silence except the splendor | I |
| Was immanent with thought as clear | J |
| As a speaking voice and I as thought | F |
| Could hear a Presence think as he walked | F |
| Between the boxes pinching off leaves | K |
| Looking for bugs and noting values | L |
| With an eye that saw it all | M |
| Homer oh yes Pericles good | F |
| C sar Borgia what shall be done with it | F |
| Dante too much manure perhaps | N |
| Napoleon leave him awhile as yet | F |
| Shelley more soil Shakespeare needs spraying | O |
| Clouds eh | P |
