Woodman And Echo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBBCEFDGHIHJIAB ABKLAMNAOPA QRBSTBUVB| Close Echo hears the woodman's axe | A |
| To double on it as in glee | B |
| With clap of hands and little lacks | A |
| Of meaning in her repartee | B |
| For all shall fall | C |
| As one has done | D |
| The tree of me | B |
| Of thee the tree | B |
| And unto all | C |
| The fate we wait | E |
| Reveals the wheels | F |
| Whereon we run | D |
| We tower to flower | G |
| We spread the shade | H |
| We drop for crop | I |
| At length are laid | H |
| Are rolled in mould | J |
| From chop and lop | I |
| And are we thick in woodland tracks | A |
| Or tempting of our stature we | B |
| The end is one we do but wax | A |
| For service over land and sea | B |
| So strike the like | K |
| Shall thus of us | L |
| My brawny woodman claim the tax | A |
| Nor foe thy blow | M |
| Though wood be good | N |
| And shriekingly the timber cracks | A |
| The ground we crowned | O |
| Shall speed the seed | P |
| Of younger into swelling sacks | A |
| - | |
| For use he hews | Q |
| To make awake | R |
| The spirit of what stuff we be | B |
| Our earth of mirth | S |
| And tears he clears | T |
| For braver let our minds agree | B |
| And then will men | U |
| Within them win | V |
| An Echo clapping harmony | B |
