Moods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDOh that a Song would sing itself to me | A |
Out of the heart of Nature or the heart | B |
Of man the child of Nature not of Art | B |
Fresh as the morning salt as the salt sea | A |
With just enough of bitterness to be | A |
A medicine to this sluggish mood and start | B |
The life blood in my veins and so impart | B |
Healing and help in this dull lethargy | A |
Alas not always doth the breath of song | C |
Breathe on us It is like the wind that bloweth | D |
At its own will not ours nor tarrieth long | C |
We hear the sound thereof but no man knoweth | D |
From whence it comes so sudden and swift and strong | C |
Nor whither in its wayward course it goeth | D |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
