Breadth And Depth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFGG HIHIJJ

Full many a shining wit one seesA
With tongue on all things well conversingB
The what can charm the what can pleaseA
In every nice detail rehearsingB
Their raptures so transport the collegeC
It seems one honeymoon of knowledgeD
-
Yet out they go in silence whereE
They whilom held their learned prateF
Ah he who would achieve the fairE
Or sow the embryo of the greatF
Must hoard to wait the ripening hourG
In the least point the loftiest powerG
-
With wanton boughs and pranksome huesH
Aloft in air aspires the stemI
The glittering leaves inhale the dewsH
But fruits are not concealed in themI
From the small kernel's undiscerned reposeJ
The oak that lords it o'er the forest growsJ

Friedrich Schiller
