Echoes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEELate born and woman souled I dare not hope | A |
The freshness of the elder lays the might | B |
Of manly modern passion shall alight | B |
Upon my Muse's lips nor may I cope | A |
Who veiled and screened by womanhood must grope | A |
With the world's strong armed warriors and recite | B |
The dangers wounds and triumphs of the fight | B |
Twanging the full stringed lyre through all its scope | A |
But if thou ever in some lake floored cave | C |
O'erbrowed by hard rocks a wild voice wooed and heard | D |
Answering at once from heaven and earth and wave | C |
Lending elf music to thy harshest word | D |
Misprize thou not these echoes that belong | E |
To one in love with solitude and song | E |
