Wallace Ferguson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGHIDJKLMNOP| There at Geneva where Mt Blanc floated above | A |
| The wine hued lake like a cloud when a breeze was blown | B |
| Out of an empty sky of blue and the roaring Rhone | B |
| Hurried under the bridge through chasms of rock | C |
| And the music along the caf s was part of the splendor | D |
| Of dancing water under a torrent of light | E |
| And the purer part of the genius of Jean Rousseau | F |
| Was the silent music of all we saw or heard | G |
| There at Geneva I say was the rapture less | H |
| Because I could not link myself with the I of yore | I |
| When twenty years before I wandered about Spoon River | D |
| Nor remember what I was nor what I felt | J |
| We live in the hour all free of the hours gone by | K |
| Therefore O soul if you lose yourself in death | L |
| And wake in some Geneva by some Mt Blanc | M |
| What do you care if you know not yourself as the you | N |
| Who lived and loved in a little corner of earth | O |
| Known as Spoon River ages and ages vanished | P |
