The Earth Breath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGHIIJJ| From the cool and dark lipped furrow breathes a dim delight | A |
| Through the woodland's purple plumage to the diamond night | A |
| Aureoles of joy encircle every blade of grass | B |
| Where the dew fed creatures silent and enraptured pass | B |
| And the restless ploughman pauses turns and wondering | C |
| Deep beneath his rustic habit finds himself a king | C |
| For a fiery moment looking with the eyes of God | D |
| Over fields a slave at morning bowed him to the sod | D |
| Blind and dense with revelation every moment flies | E |
| And unto the mighty mother gay eternal rise | E |
| All the hopes we hold the gladness dreams of things to be | F |
| One of all thy generations mother hails to thee | F |
| Hail and hail and hail for ever though I turn again | G |
| From thy joy unto the human vestiture of pain | H |
| I thy child who went forth radiant in the golden prime | I |
| Find thee still the mother hearted through my night in time | I |
| Find in thee the old enchantment there behind the veil | J |
| Where the gods my brothers linger Hail for ever hail | J |
George William Russell
