The Poet To His Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFGALL the flight of thoughts here shy bold scared intrusive | A |
Fluttering in the sun between the green and blue | B |
Wheeling whirling poising lovely and elusive | A |
How to cage the flying thoughts my winged delight for you | B |
- | |
Set a springe of rhyme and hope to catch them in it | C |
Strew my love as grain to lure them to the snare | D |
Watch the hours built up slow minute piled on minute | E |
Still the wide sky guards their flight and still the cage is bare | D |
- | |
Gleam of hovering feathers brushing me to flout me | F |
Wings be weary Rest Who loves you more than I | G |
Caught Oh fluttering pinions whitening air about me | F |
Rustling wings and distant flight and empty cage and sky | G |
