The Garden Refused Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDEF GHIGHI| There is a garden made for our delight | A |
| Where all the dreams we dare not dream come true | B |
| I know it but I do not know the way | C |
| We slip and tumble in the doubtful night | A |
| Where everything is difficult and new | B |
| And clouds our breath has made obscure the day | C |
| - | |
| The blank unhappy towns where sick men strive | D |
| Still doing work that yet is never done | E |
| The hymns to Gold that drown their desperate voice | F |
| The weeds that grow where once corn stood alive | D |
| The black injustice that puts out the sun | E |
| These are our portion since they are our choice | F |
| - | |
| Yet there the garden blows with rose on rose | G |
| The sunny shadow dappled lawns are there | H |
| There the immortal lilies heavenly sweet | I |
| O roses that for us shall not unclose | G |
| O lilies that we shall not pluck or wear | H |
| O dewy lawns untrodden by our feet | I |
