Liberty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDEFFGHHIJKLLIM JNOPQQR| The last light has gone out of the world except | A |
| This moonlight lying on the grass like frost | B |
| Beyond the brink of the tall elm's shadow | C |
| It is as if everything else had slept | A |
| Many an age unforgotten and lost | B |
| The men that were the things done long ago | C |
| All I have thought and but the moon and I | D |
| Live yet and here stand idle over a grave | E |
| Where all is buried Both have liberty | F |
| To dream what we could do if we were free | F |
| To do some thing we had desired long | G |
| The moon and I There's none less free than who | H |
| Does nothing and has nothing else to do | H |
| Being free only for what is not to his mind | I |
| And nothing is to his mind If every hour | J |
| Like this one passing that I have spent among | K |
| The wiser others when I have forgot | L |
| To wonder whether I was free or not | L |
| Were piled before me and not lost behind | I |
| And I could take and carry them away | M |
| I should be rich or if had the power | J |
| To wipe out every one and not again | N |
| Regret I should be rich to be so poor | O |
| And yet I still am half in love with pain | P |
| With what is imperfect with both tears and mirth | Q |
| With things that have an end with life and earth | Q |
| And this moon that leaves me dark within the door | R |
