An Impression Received From A Symphony Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBB CCDDDD EEFFFF| There was a day when I if that was I | A |
| Surrendered lay beneath a burning sky | A |
| Where overhead the azure ached with heat | B |
| And many red fierce poppies splashed the wheat | B |
| Motion was dead and silence was complete | B |
| And stains of red fierce poppies splashed the wheat | B |
| - | |
| And as I lay upon a scent warm bank | C |
| I fell away slipped back from earth and sank | C |
| I lost the place of sky and field and tree | D |
| One covering face obscured the world for me | D |
| And for an hour I knew eternity | D |
| For one fixed face suspended Time for me | D |
| - | |
| O had those eyes in that extreme of bliss | E |
| Shed one more wise and culminating kiss | E |
| My end had come nor had I lived to quail | F |
| Frightened and dumb as things must do that fail | F |
| And in this last black devil mocking gale | F |
| Battered and dumb to fight the dark and fail | F |
