The Golden Moment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEAA FGFGHH| Along the branches of the laden tree | A |
| The ripe fruit smiling hang The afternoon | B |
| Is emptied of all things done and things to be | A |
| Low in the sky the inconspicuous moon | B |
| Stares enviously upon the mellow earth | C |
| That mocks her barren girth | C |
| - | |
| Ripe blackberries and long green trailing grass | D |
| Are motionless beneath the heavy light | E |
| The happy birds and creeping things that pass | D |
| Go fitfully and stir as if in fright | E |
| That they have broken on some mystery | A |
| In bramble or in tree | A |
| - | |
| This is no hour for beings that are maiden | F |
| The spring is virgin lightly afraid and cold | G |
| But now the whole round earth is ripe and laden | F |
| And stirs beneath her coverlet of gold | G |
| And in her agony a moment calls | H |
| A heavy apple falls | H |
