Honey Dripping From The Comb Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG IJIJ| How slight a thing may set one's fancy drifting | A |
| Upon the dead sea of the Past A view | B |
| Sometimes an odor or a rooster lifting | A |
| A far off 'OOH OOH OOH ' | C |
| - | |
| And suddenly we find ourselves astray | D |
| In some wood's pasture of the Long Ago | E |
| Or idly dream again upon a day | D |
| Of rest we used to know | E |
| - | |
| I bit an apple but a moment since | F |
| A wilted apple that the worm had spurned | G |
| Yet hidden in the taste were happy hints | H |
| Of good old days returned | G |
| - | |
| And so my heart like some enraptured lute | I |
| Tinkles a tune so tender and complete | J |
| God's blessing must be resting on the fruit | I |
| So bitter yet so sweet | J |
