Russell Kincaid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGHIIJKLMNOKPQ R| In the last spring I ever knew | A |
| In those last days | B |
| I sat in the forsaken orchard | C |
| Where beyond fields of greenery shimmered | C |
| The hills at Miller's Ford | D |
| Just to muse on the apple tree | E |
| With its ruined trunk and blasted branches | F |
| And shoots of green whose delicate blossoms | G |
| Were sprinkled over the skeleton tangle | H |
| Never to grow in fruit | I |
| And there was I with my spirit girded | I |
| By the flesh half dead the senses numb | J |
| Yet thinking of youth and the earth in youth | K |
| Such phantom blossoms palely shining | L |
| Over the lifeless boughs of Time | M |
| O earth that leaves us ere heaven takes us | N |
| Had I been only a tree to shiver | O |
| With dreams of spring and a leafy youth | K |
| Then I had fallen in the cyclone | P |
| Which swept me out of the soul's suspense | Q |
| Where it's neither earth nor heaven | R |
