Oh That A Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE AFAFGHIH JKJLMHMH NDNDOEOEOh 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 |
