The Glade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG| We may raise our voices even in this still glade | A |
| Though the colours and shadows and sounds so fleeting seem | B |
| We shall not dispel them They are not made | A |
| Frailly by earth or hands but immortal in our dream | B |
| - | |
| We may touch the faint violets with the hands of thought | C |
| Or lay the pale core of the wild arum bare | D |
| And for ever in our minds the white wild cherry is caught | E |
| Cloudy against the sky and melting into air | D |
| - | |
| This which we have seen is eternally ours | F |
| No others shall tread in the glade which now we see | G |
| Their hands shall not touch the frail tranquil flowers | F |
| Nor their hearts faint in wonder at the wild white tree | G |
