When Under The Icy Eaves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCC EFEFGHGHCC| When under the icy eaves | A |
| The swallow heralds the sun | B |
| And the dove for its lost mate grieves | A |
| And the young lambs play and run | B |
| When the sea is a plane of glass | C |
| And the blustering winds are still | D |
| And the strength of the thin snows pass | C |
| In mists o'er the tawny hill | D |
| The spirit of life awakes | C |
| In the fresh flags by the lakes | C |
| - | |
| When the sick man seeks the air | E |
| And the graves of the dead grow green | F |
| Where the children play unaware | E |
| Of the faces no longer seen | F |
| When all we have felt or can feel | G |
| And all we are or have been | H |
| And all the heart can hide or reveal | G |
| Knocks gently and enters in | H |
| The spirit of life awakes | C |
| In the fresh flags by the lakes | C |
