The Master Singer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH| A laughter in the diamond air a music in the trembling grass | A |
| And one by one the words of light as joydrops through my being pass | A |
| I am the sunlight in the heart the silver moonglow in the mind | B |
| My laughter runs and ripples through the wavy tresses of the wind | B |
| I am the fire upon the hills the dancing flame that leads afar | C |
| Each burning hearted wanderer and I the dear and homeward star | C |
| A myriad lovers died for me and in their latest yielded breath | D |
| I woke in glory giving them immortal life though touched by death | D |
| They knew me from the dawn of time if Hermes beats his rainbow wings | E |
| If Angus shakes his locks of light or golden haired Apollo sings | E |
| It matters not the name the land my joy in all the gods abides | F |
| Even in the cricket in the grass some dimness of me smiles and hides | F |
| For joy of me the day star glows and in delight and wild desire | G |
| The peacock twilight rays aloft its plumes and blooms of shadowy fire | G |
| Where in the vastness too I burn through summer nights and ages long | H |
| And with the fiery footed Watchers shake in myriad dance and song | H |
