The Tendril's Fate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGFG HIHI JEJE| Under the snow in the dark and the cold | A |
| A pale little sprout was humming | B |
| Sweetly it sang 'neath the frozen mould | A |
| Of the beautiful days that were coming | B |
| - | |
| How foolish your songs said a lump of clay | C |
| What is there I ask to prove them | D |
| Just look at the walls between you and the day | C |
| Now have you the strength to move them | D |
| - | |
| But under the ice and under the snow | E |
| The pale little sprout kept singing | B |
| I cannot tell how but I know I know | E |
| I know what the days are bringing | B |
| - | |
| Birds and blossoms and buzzing bees | F |
| Blue blue skies above me | G |
| Bloom on the meadows and buds on the trees | F |
| And the great glad sun to love me | G |
| - | |
| A pebble spoke next You are quite absurd | H |
| It said with your song's insistence | I |
| For I never saw a tree or a bird | H |
| So of course there are none in existence | I |
| - | |
| But I know I know the tendril cried | J |
| In beautiful sweet unreason | E |
| Till lo from its prison glorified | J |
| It burst in the glad spring season | E |
