A Statue In The Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DEDE EDED FEGE| I was a goddess ere the marble found me | A |
| Wind wind delay not | B |
| Waft my spirit where the laurel crowned me | A |
| Will the wind stay not | B |
| - | |
| Then tarry tarry listen little swallow | C |
| An old glory feeds me | A |
| I lay upon the bosom of Apollo | C |
| Not a bird heeds me | A |
| - | |
| For here the days are alien Oh to waken | D |
| Mine mine with calling | E |
| But on my shoulders bare like hopes forsaken | D |
| The dead leaves are falling | E |
| - | |
| The sky is gray and full of unshed weeping | E |
| As dim down the garden | D |
| I wait and watch the early autumn sweeping | E |
| The stalks fade and harden | D |
| - | |
| The souls of all the flowers afar have rallied | F |
| The trees gaunt appalling | E |
| Attest the gloom and on my shoulders pallid | G |
| The dead leaves are falling | E |
