If I Could Glimpse Him Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCCCC CECECE CFCFCF EGEGEG| When in the Scorpion circles low | A |
| The sun with fainter dreamier light | B |
| And at a far off hint of snow | A |
| The giddy swallows take to flight | B |
| And droning insects sadly know | A |
| That cooler falls the autumn night | B |
| - | |
| When airs breathe drowsily and sweet | C |
| Charming the woods to colors gay | D |
| And distant pastures send the bleat | C |
| Of hungry lambs at break of day | C |
| Old Hermes' wings grow on my feet | C |
| And good by home I'm called away | C |
| - | |
| There on the hills should I behold | C |
| Sitting upon an old gray stone | E |
| That humps its back up through the mold | C |
| And piping in a monotone | E |
| Pan as he sat in days of old | C |
| My joy would bid surprise begone | E |
| - | |
| Dear Pan 'Tis he that calls me out | C |
| He lying in some hazel copse | F |
| Where lazily he turns about | C |
| And munches each nut as it drops | F |
| Well pleased to see me swamped in doubt | C |
| At sound of his much changing stops | F |
| - | |
| If I could glimpse him by the vine | E |
| Where purple fox grapes hang their store | G |
| I'd tell him in his leafy shrine | E |
| How poets say he lives no more | G |
| He'd laugh and pluck a muscadine | E |
| And fall to piping as of yore | G |
