Thoughts At The Trysting Stile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDF EGHHHH IJIEKEKLH LHHHHMHH| Come May and hang a white flag on each thorn | A |
| Make truce with earth and heaven the April child | B |
| Now hides her sulky face deep in the morn | A |
| Of your new flowers by the water wild | B |
| And in the ripples of the rising grass | C |
| And rushes bent to let the south wind pass | C |
| On with her tumult of swift nomad wings | D |
| And broken domes of downy dandelion | E |
| Only in spasms now the blackbird sings | D |
| The hour is all a dream | F |
| - | |
| Nets of woodbine | E |
| Throw woven shadows over dreaming flowers | G |
| And dreaming a bee luring lily bends | H |
| Its tender bell where blue dyke water cowers | H |
| Thro' briars and folded ferns and gripping ends | H |
| Of wild convolvulus | H |
| - | |
| The lark's sky way | I |
| Is desolate | J |
| I watch an apple spray | I |
| Beckon across a wall as if it knew | E |
| I wait the calling of the orchard maid | K |
| Inly I fell she will come in blue | E |
| With yellow on her hair and two curls strayed | K |
| Out of her comb's loose stocks and I shall steal | L |
| Behind and lay my hands upon her eyes | H |
| 'Look not but be my Psyche ' | - |
| - | |
| And her peal | L |
| Of laughter will ring far and as she tries | H |
| For freedom I will call her names of flowers | H |
| That climb up walls then thro' the twilight hours | H |
| We'll talk about the loves of ancient queens | H |
| And kisses like wasp honey false and sweet | M |
| And how we are entangled in love's snares | H |
| Like wind looped flowers | H |
