A Fear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJIJ KLKL JMJNO Mother Earth I have a fear | A |
Which I would tell to thee | B |
Softly and gently in thine ear | C |
When the moon and we are three | B |
- | |
Thy grass and flowers are beautiful | D |
Among thy trees I hide | E |
And underneath the moonlight cool | F |
Thy sea looks broad and wide | E |
- | |
But this I fear lest thou shouldst grow | G |
To me so small and strange | H |
So distant I should never know | G |
On thee a shade of change | H |
- | |
Although great earthquakes should uplift | I |
Deep mountains from their base | J |
And thy continual motion shift | I |
The lands upon thy face | J |
- | |
The grass the flowers the dews that lie | K |
Upon them as before | L |
Driven upwards evermore lest I | K |
Should love these things no more | L |
- | |
Even now thou dimly hast a place | J |
In deep star galaxies | M |
And I driven ever on through space | J |
Have lost thee in the skies | N |
