Grasses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAA EFGHEE EIJKEE ALEGAA| O cover me long gentle grasses | A |
| Cover me with your seeding heads | B |
| Cover me with your shaking limbs | C |
| Cover me with your light soft hands | D |
| Cover me as the delicious long wind passes | A |
| Over you and me green grasses | A |
| - | |
| 'Tis of your blood I would be drinking | E |
| To your soft shrilling listening now | F |
| And your thin fingers peering through | G |
| At the deep forests of the sky | H |
| O satisfy my peevish thought past thinking | E |
| My sense with your sense linking | E |
| - | |
| Already are your brown roots creeping | E |
| Around the roots of my mind's mind | I |
| Into the darkness hidden within | J |
| The rayed dark of unconsciousness | K |
| And your long stems in a bright wind are leaping | E |
| Over me uneasily sleeping | E |
| - | |
| O cover me long gentle grasses | A |
| As one day over a quiet flesh | L |
| You will shake shake and dance and sing | E |
| And body too still and spirit astir | G |
| Will hear you in every firm bright wind that passes | A |
| Over you loved green grasses | A |
