Faute De Mieux Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DEDEFEFE GBGBEEEE| WHEN the corn is green and the poppies red | A |
| And the fields are crimson with love lies bleeding | B |
| When the elms are black deep overhead | A |
| And the shade lies cool where the calves are feeding | B |
| When the blackbird whistles the song of June | C |
| When kine knee deep in the pond are drowsing | B |
| Leave pastoral peace come up through the noon | C |
| To the high chalk downs where the sheep are browsing | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| Oh sweet to dream in the noontide heat | D |
| On the scented bed of thyme and clover | E |
| With the air from the sea blown keen and sweet | D |
| And the wings of the wide sky folded over | E |
| While far in the blue the skylark sings | F |
| Renounce desire and renounce endeavour | E |
| Forget life's little unworthy things | F |
| And dream that the dream will last for ever | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| The love of your life in your heart's hid shrine | G |
| With its gifts and its torments leave it sighing | B |
| And I will bury the pain of mine | G |
| In the selfsame grave where its joy is lying | B |
| Let me hold your hand for a quiet hour | E |
| In the wild thyme's scent and the clear blue weather | E |
| Then come what may we have plucked one flower | E |
| This hour on the downs alone together | E |
