Pan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEDD| This Pan is but an idle god I guess | A |
| Since all the fair midsummer of my dreams | B |
| He loiters listlessly by woody streams | B |
| Soaking the lush glooms up with laziness | C |
| Or drowsing while the maiden winds caress | A |
| Him prankishly and powder him with gleams | B |
| Of sifted sunshine And he ever seems | B |
| Drugged with a joy unutterable unless | A |
| His low pipes whistle hints of it far out | D |
| Across the ripples to the dragon fly | E |
| That like a wind born blossom blown about | D |
| Drops quiveringly down as though to die | E |
| Then lifts and wavers on as if in doubt | D |
| Whether to fan his wings or fly without | D |
