Dedication Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEEEEEAEEEFF GFEHIJFEFEF| Lord I have seen at harvest festival | A |
| In a white lamp lit fishing village church | B |
| How the poor folk lacking fine decorations | C |
| Offer the first fruits of their various toils | D |
| Not only fruit and blossom of the fields | E |
| Ripe corn and poppies scabious marguerites | E |
| Melons and marrows carrots and potatoes | E |
| And pale round turnips and sweet cottage flowers | E |
| But gifts of other produce heaped brown nets | E |
| Fine pollack silver fish with umber backs | E |
| And handsome green dark blue striped mackerel | A |
| And uglier hornier creatures from the sea | E |
| Lobsters long clawed and eyed and smooth flat crabs | E |
| Ranged with the flowers upon the window niches | E |
| To lie in that symbolic contiguity | F |
| While lusty hymns of gratitude ascend | F |
| - | |
| So I | G |
| Here offer all I have found | F |
| A few bright stainless flowers | E |
| And richer earthlier blooms and homely grain | H |
| And roots that grew distorted in the dark | I |
| And shapes of livid hue and sprawling form | J |
| Dragged from the deepest maters I have searched | F |
| Most diverse gifts yet all alike in this | E |
| They are all the natural products of my mind | F |
| And heart and senses | E |
| And all with labour grown or plucked or caught | F |
