Lying In Grass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJKEJFHLGMN OIIIP Q RIs this everything now the quick delusions of flowers | A |
And the down colors of the bright summer meadow | B |
The soft blue spread of heaven the bees' song | C |
Is this everything only a god's | D |
Groaning dream | E |
The cry of unconscious powers for deliverance | F |
The distant line of the mountain | G |
That beautifully and courageously rests in the blue | H |
Is this too only a convulsion | G |
Only the wild strain of fermenting nature | I |
Only grief only agony only meaningless fumbling | J |
Never resting never a blessed movement | K |
No Leave me alone you impure dream | E |
Of the world in suffering | J |
The dance of tiny insects cradles you in an evening radiance | F |
The bird's cry cradles you | H |
A breath of wind cools my forehead | L |
With consolation | G |
Leave me alone you unendurably old human grief | M |
Let it all be pain | N |
Let it all be suffering let it be wretched | O |
But not this one sweet hour in the summer | I |
And not the fragrance of the red clover | I |
And not the deep tender pleasure | I |
In my soul | P |
