A Glimpse Of Pan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBCB DEFFEFE GHGGHGHG| I caught but a glimpse of him Summer was here | A |
| And I strayed from the town and its dust and heat | B |
| And walked in a wood while the noon was near | C |
| Where the shadows were cool and the atmosphere | C |
| Was misty with fragrances stirred by my feet | B |
| From surges of blossoms that billowed sheer | C |
| Of the grasses green and sweet | B |
| - | |
| And I peered through a vista of leaning tree | D |
| Tressed with long tangles of vines that swept | E |
| To the face of a river that answered these | F |
| With vines in the wave like the vines in the breeze | F |
| Till the yearning lips of the ripples crept | E |
| And kissed them with quavering ecstasies | F |
| And wistfully laughed and wept | E |
| - | |
| And there like a dream in swoon I swear | G |
| I saw Pan lying his limbs in the dew | H |
| And the shade and his face in the dazzle and glare | G |
| Of the glad sunshine while everywhere | G |
| Over across and around him blew | H |
| Filmy dragon flies hither and there | G |
| And little white butterflies two and two | H |
| In eddies of odorous air | G |
