Wash Of Cold River Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFAG AHIA IJIKLAMKN AOPO

Wash of cold riverA
in a glacial landB
Ionian waterA
chill snow ribbed sandB
drift of rare flowersC
clear with delicate shellD
like leaf enclosingE
frozen lily leafF
camellia textureA
colder than a roseG
-
wind flowerA
that keeps the breathH
of the north windI
these and none otherA
-
intimate thoughts and kindI
reach out to shareJ
the treasure of my mindI
intimate hands and dearK
drawn garden ward and sea wardL
all the sheer raptureA
that I would takeM
to mould a clearK
and frigid statueN
-
rare of pure textureA
beautiful space and lineO
marble to graceP
your inaccessible shrineO
