A Blessing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHDIGJDKFLMNOP QRI| Just off the highway to Rochester Minnesota | A |
| Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass | B |
| And the eyes of those two Indian ponies | C |
| Darken with kindness | D |
| They have come gladly out of the willows | E |
| To welcome my friend and me | F |
| We step over the barbed wire into the pasture | G |
| Where they have been grazing all day alone | H |
| They ripple tensely they can hardly contain their happiness | D |
| That we have come | I |
| They bow shyly as wet swans They love each other | G |
| There is no loneliness like theirs | J |
| At home once more they begin munching the young tufts of spring in the darkness | D |
| I would like to hold the slenderer one in my arms | K |
| For she has walked over to me | F |
| And nuzzled my left hand | L |
| She is black and white | M |
| Her mane falls wild on her forehead | N |
| And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear | O |
| That is delicate as the skin over a girl's wrist | P |
| Suddenly I realize | Q |
| That if I stepped out of my body I would break | R |
| Into blossom | I |
