Response Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEFGHIHIGJEK EKLJ| I said this morning as I leaned and threw | A |
| My shutters open to the Spring's surprise | B |
| 'Tell me O Earth how is it that in you | A |
| Year after year the same fresh feelings rise | B |
| How do you keep your young exultant glee | C |
| No more those sweet emotions come to me | C |
| 'I note through all your fissures how the tide | D |
| Of healthful life goes leaping as of old | E |
| Your royal dawns retain their pomp and pride | D |
| Your sunsets lose no atom of their gold | E |
| How can this wonder be ' My soul's fine ear | F |
| Leaned listening till a small voice answered near | G |
| 'My days lapse never over into night | H |
| My nights encroach not on the rights of dawn | I |
| I rush not breathless after some delight | H |
| I waste no grief for any pleasure gone | I |
| My July noons burn not the entire year | G |
| Heart hearken well ' 'Yes yes go on I hear ' | J |
| 'I do not strive to make my sunsets' gold | E |
| Pave all the dim and distant realms of space | K |
| I do not bid my crimson dawns unfold | E |
| To lend the midnight a fictitious grace | K |
| I break no law for all God's laws are good | L |
| Heart hast thou heard ' 'Yes yes and understood ' | J |
