Journey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAJCKLMNOPQR STUVFWXYZA2EB2C2Ah could I lay me down in this long grass | A |
And close my eyes and let the quiet wind | B |
Blow over me I am so tired so tired | C |
Of passing pleasant places All my life | D |
Following Care along the dusty road | E |
Have I looked back at loveliness and sighed | F |
Yet at my hand an unrelenting hand | G |
Tugged ever and I passed All my life long | H |
Over my shoulder have I looked at peace | I |
And now I fain would lie in this long grass | A |
And close my eyes | J |
Yet onward | C |
Cat birds call | K |
Through the long afternoon and creeks at dusk | L |
Are guttural Whip poor wills wake and cry | M |
Drawing the twilight close about their throats | N |
Only my heart makes answer Eager vines | O |
Go up the rocks and wait flushed apple trees | P |
Pause in their dance and break the ring for me | Q |
Dim shady wood roads redolent of fern | R |
And bayberry that through sweet bevies thread | S |
Of round faced roses pink and petulant | T |
Look back and beckon ere they disappear | U |
Only my heart only my heart responds | V |
Yet ah my path is sweet on either side | F |
All through the dragging day sharp underfoot | W |
And hot and like dead mist the dry dust hangs | X |
But far oh far as passionate eye can reach | Y |
And long ah long as rapturous eye can cling | Z |
The world is mine blue hill still silver lake | A2 |
Broad field bright flower and the long white road | E |
A gateless garden and an open path | B2 |
My feet to follow and my heart to hold | C2 |
