In The Park Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH AIII JKJK LILI| This dense hard ground I tread | A |
| These iron bars that ripple past | B |
| Will they unshaken stand when I am dead | A |
| And my deep thoughts outlast | B |
| - | |
| Is it my spirit slips | C |
| Falls like this leaf I kick aside | D |
| This firmness that I feel about my lips | C |
| Is it but empty pride | D |
| - | |
| Mute knowledge conquers me | E |
| I contemplate them as they are | F |
| Faint earth and shadowy bars that shake and flee | E |
| Less hard more transient far | F |
| - | |
| Than those unbodied hues | G |
| The sunset flings on the calm river | H |
| And as I look a swiftness thrills my shoes | G |
| And my hands with empire quiver | H |
| - | |
| Now light the ground I tread | A |
| I walk not now but rather float | I |
| Clear but unreal is the scene outspread | I |
| Pitiful thin remote | I |
| - | |
| Poor vapour is the grass | J |
| So frail the trees and railings seem | K |
| That did I sweep my hand around 'twould pass | J |
| Through them as in a dream | K |
| - | |
| Godlike I fear no changes | L |
| Shatter the world with thunders loud | I |
| Still would I ray like flit about the ranges | L |
| Of dark and ruddy cloud | I |
