A Chant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCB EFEF| Gently the petals fall as the tree gently sways | A |
| That has known many springs and many petals fall | B |
| Year after year to strew the green deserted ways | A |
| And the statue and the pond and the low broken wall | B |
| - | |
| Faded is the memory of old things done | C |
| Peace floats on the ruins of ancient festival | D |
| They lie and forget in the warmth of the sun | C |
| And a sky silver blue arches over all | B |
| - | |
| O softly O tenderly the heart now stirs | E |
| With desires faint and formless and seeking not I find | F |
| Quiet thoughts that flash like azure kingfishers | E |
| Across the luminous tranquil mirror of the mind | F |
