Apple-blossoms. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF HIJKLFGF AMNMOFGFI sit in the shadow of apple boughs | A |
In the fragrant orchard close | B |
And around me floats the scented air | C |
With its wave like tidal flows | D |
I close my eyes in a dreamy bliss | E |
And call no king my peer | F |
For is not this the rare sweet time | G |
The blossoming time of the year | F |
- | |
I lie on a couch of downy grass | H |
With delicate blossoms strewn | I |
And I feel the throb of Nature's heart | J |
Responsive to my own | K |
Oh the world is fair and God is good | L |
That maketh life so dear | F |
For is not this the rare sweet time | G |
The blossoming time of the year | F |
- | |
I can see through the rifts of the apple boughs | A |
The delicate blue of the sky | M |
And the changing clouds with their marvellous tints | N |
That drift so lazily by | M |
And strange sweet thoughts sing through my brain | O |
And Heaven it seemeth near | F |
Oh is it not a rare sweet time | G |
The blossoming time of the year | F |
