Discovery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIJJKGABLBDH MANON| Beauty walked over the hills and made them bright | A |
| She in the long fresh grass scattered her rains | B |
| Sparkling and glittering like a host of stars | C |
| But not like stars cold severe terrible | D |
| Hers was the laughter of the wind that leaped | E |
| Arm full of shadows flinging them far and wide | F |
| Hers the bright light within the quick green | G |
| Of every new leaf on the oldest tree | H |
| It was her swimming made the river run | I |
| Shining as the sun | I |
| Her voice escaped from winter's chill and dark | J |
| Singing in the incessant lark | J |
| All this was hers yet all this had not been | K |
| Except 'twas seen | G |
| It was my eyes Beauty that made thee bright | A |
| My ears that heard the blood leaping in my veins | B |
| The vehemence of transfiguring thought | L |
| Not lights and shadows birds grasses and rains | B |
| That made thy wonders wonderful | D |
| For it has been Beauty that I have seen thee | H |
| Tedious as a painted cloth at a bad play | M |
| Empty of meaning and so of all delight | A |
| Now thou hast blessed me with a great pure bliss | N |
| Shaking thy rainy light all over the earth | O |
| And I have paid thee with my thankfulness | N |
