Sonnets 05: Once More Into My Arid Days Like Dew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDOnce more into my arid days like dew | A |
Like wind from an oasis or the sound | B |
Of cold sweet water bubbling underground | B |
A treacherous messenger the thought of you | A |
Comes to destroy me once more I renew | A |
Firm faith in your abundance whom I found | B |
Long since to be but just one other mound | B |
Of sand whereon no green thing ever grew | A |
And once again and wiser in no wise | C |
I chase your colored phantom on the air | D |
And sob and curse and fall and weep and rise | C |
And stumble pitifully on to where | D |
Miserable and lost with stinging eyes | C |
Once more I clasp mdash and there is nothing there | D |
