A Vagabond Mind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE AFAFACAC AAAAGHGH| Since early this morning the world has seemed surging | A |
| With unworded rhythm and rhyme without thought | B |
| It may be the Muses take this way of urging | A |
| The patience and pains by which poems are wrought | B |
| It may be some singer who passed into glory | C |
| With songs all unfinished is lingering near | D |
| And trying to tell me the rest of the story | C |
| Which I am too dull of perception to hear | E |
| - | |
| I hear not I see not but feel the sweet swinging | A |
| And swaying of metre in sunlight and shade | F |
| The still arch of Space with such music is ringing | A |
| As never an audible orchestra made | F |
| The moments glide by me and each one is dancing | A |
| Aquiver with life is each leaf on the tree | C |
| And out on the ocean is movement entrancing | A |
| As billow with billow goes racing with glee | C |
| - | |
| With never a thought that is worthy the saying | A |
| And never a theme to be put into song | A |
| Since early this morning my mind has been straying | A |
| A vagabond thing with a vagabond throng | A |
| With gay idle moments and waves of the ocean | G |
| With winds and with sunbeams and tree tops and birds | H |
| It has lilted along in the joy of mere motion | G |
| To songs without music and verse without words | H |
