Oh That A Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE AFAFGHIH JKJLMHMH NDNDOEOE| Oh that a wind would call | A |
| From the depths of the leafless wood | B |
| Oh that a voice would fall | A |
| On the ear of my solitude | C |
| - | |
| Far away is the sea | D |
| With its sound and its spirit tone | E |
| Over it white clouds flee | D |
| But I am alone alone | E |
| - | |
| Straight and steady and tall | A |
| The trees stand on their feet | F |
| Fast by the old stone wall | A |
| The moss grows green and sweet | F |
| But my heart is full of fears | G |
| For the sun shines far away | H |
| And they look in my face through tears | I |
| And the light of a dying day | H |
| - | |
| My heart was glad last night | J |
| As I pressed it with my palm | K |
| Its throb was airy and light | J |
| As it sang some spirit psalm | L |
| But it died away in my breast | M |
| As I wandered forth to day | H |
| As a bird sat dead on its nest | M |
| While others sang on the spray | H |
| - | |
| O weary heart of mine | N |
| Is there ever a Truth for thee | D |
| Will ever a sun outshine | N |
| But the sun that shines on me | D |
| Away away through the air | O |
| The clouds and the leaves are blown | E |
| And my heart hath need of prayer | O |
| For it sitteth alone alone | E |
