The Glory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFAEBGDGFHAIIJI KJAAKJBK| The glory of the beauty of the morning | A |
| The cuckoo crying over the untouched dew | B |
| The blackbird that has found it and the dove | C |
| That tempts me on to something sweeter than love | C |
| White clouds ranged even and fair as new mown hay | D |
| The heat the stir the sublime vacancy | E |
| Of sky and meadow and forest and my own heart | F |
| The glory invites me yet it leaves me scorning | A |
| All I can ever do all I can be | E |
| Beside the lovely of motion shape and hue | B |
| The happiness I fancy fit to dwell | G |
| In beauty's presence Shall I now this day | D |
| Begin to seek as far as heaven as hell | G |
| Wisdom or strength to match this beauty start | F |
| And tread the pale dust pitted with small dark drops | H |
| In hope to find whatever it is I seek | A |
| Hearkening to short lived happy seeming things | I |
| That we know naught of in the hazel copse | I |
| Or must I be content with discontent | J |
| As larks and swallows are perhaps with wings | I |
| And shall I ask at the day's end once more | K |
| What beauty is and what I can have meant | J |
| By happiness And shall I let all go | A |
| Glad weary or both Or shall I perhaps know | A |
| That I was happy oft and oft before | K |
| Awhile forgetting how I am fast pent | J |
| How dreary swift with naught to travel to | B |
| Is Time I cannot bite the day to the core | K |
