The Dependencies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSS TQUVWXY| This morning between two branches of a tree | A |
| Beside the door epeira once again | B |
| Has spun and signed his tapestry and trap | C |
| I test his early warning system and | D |
| It works he scrambles forth in sable with | E |
| The yellow hieroglyph that no one knows | F |
| The meaning of And I remember now | G |
| How yesterday at dusk the nighthawks came | H |
| Back as they do about this time each year | I |
| Grey squadrons with the slashes white on wings | J |
| Cruising for bugs beneath the bellied cloud | K |
| Now soon the monarchs will be drifting south | L |
| And then the geese will go and then one day | M |
| The little garden birds will not be here | N |
| See how many leaves already have | O |
| Withered and turned a few have fallen too | P |
| Change is continuous on the seamless web | Q |
| Yet moments come like this one when you feel | R |
| Upon your heart a signal to attend | S |
| The definite announcement of an end | S |
| Where one thing ceases and another starts | T |
| When like the spider waiting on the web | Q |
| You know the intricate dependencies | U |
| Spreading in secret through the fabric vast | V |
| Of heaven and earth sending their messages | W |
| Ciphered in chemistry to all the kinds | X |
| The whisper down the bloodstream it is time | Y |
