Happiness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDEDETHIS perfect love can find no words to say | A |
What words are left still sacred for our use | B |
That have not suffered the sad world's abuse | B |
And figure forth a gladness dimmed and gray | A |
Let us be silent still since words convey | A |
But shadowed images wherein we lose | C |
The fulness of love's light our lips refuse | C |
The fluent commonplace of yesterday | A |
- | |
- | |
Then shall we hear beneath the brooding wing | D |
Of silence what abiding voices sleep | E |
The primal notes of nature that outring | D |
Man's little noises warble he or weep | E |
The song the morning stars together sing | D |
The sound of deep that calleth unto deep | E |
