Vision And Echo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFFFGH FIJIKL BMNOFF HGPGAQ| I have seen that which sweeter is | A |
| Than happy dreams come true | B |
| I have heard that which echo is | A |
| Of speech past all I ever knew | B |
| Vision and echo come again | C |
| Nor let me grieve in easeless pain | D |
| - | |
| It was a hill I saw that rose | E |
| Like smoke over the street | F |
| Whose greening rampires were upreared | F |
| Suddenly almost at my feet | F |
| And tall trees nodded tremblingly | G |
| Making the plain day visionary | H |
| - | |
| But ah the song the song I heard | F |
| And grieve to hear no more | I |
| It was not angel voice nor child's | J |
| Singing alone and happy nor | I |
| Note of the wise prophetic thrush | K |
| As lonely in the leafless bush | L |
| - | |
| It was not these and yet I knew | B |
| That song but now alas | M |
| My unpurged ears prove all too gross | N |
| To keep the nameless air that was | O |
| And is not and my eyes forget | F |
| The vision that I follow yet | F |
| - | |
| Yet though forgetful I did see | H |
| And heard but cannot tell | G |
| And on my forehead felt an air | P |
| Unearthly on my heart a spell | G |
| I have seen that which deathless is | A |
| And heard what I for ever miss | Q |
