Blight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFCF HICIJI AKHKDK ELFLML| Hard seeds of hate I planted | A |
| That should by now be grown | B |
| Rough stalks and from thick stamens | C |
| A poisonous pollen blown | B |
| And odors rank unbreathable | D |
| From dark corollas thrown | B |
| - | |
| At dawn from my damp garden | E |
| I shook the chilly dew | F |
| The thin boughs locked behind me | G |
| That sprang to let me through | F |
| The blossoms slept I sought a place | C |
| Where nothing lovely grew | F |
| - | |
| And there when day was breaking | H |
| I knelt and looked around | I |
| The light was near the silence | C |
| Was palpitant with sound | I |
| I drew my hate from out my breast | J |
| And thrust it in the ground | I |
| - | |
| Oh ye so fiercely tended | A |
| Ye little seeds of hate | K |
| I bent above your growing | H |
| Early and noon and late | K |
| Yet are ye drooped and pitiful | D |
| I cannot rear ye straight | K |
| - | |
| The sun seeks out my garden | E |
| No nook is left in shade | L |
| No mist nor mold nor mildew | F |
| Endures on any blade | L |
| Sweet rain slants under every bough | M |
| Ye falter and ye fade | L |
