Erskine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GFFG HDDH IFFI JFFJ| A singing voice is in my dream | A |
| The voice of Erskine on his boulders | B |
| Babbling and shouting till he shoulders | B |
| Stoutly against the heavier stream | A |
| - | |
| No longer now my curtained sight | C |
| On serried books and pictures dwelling | D |
| Of long neglected work is telling | D |
| But looks beyond the travelling night | C |
| - | |
| And here no longer is my home | E |
| For you and I are far asunder | F |
| I hear again the cascade thunder | F |
| And watch the little pool of foam | E |
| - | |
| And where the water pouring sleek | G |
| In sudden whiteness flings his treasure | F |
| I see you sitting Queen of Pleasure | F |
| Clad only by the glittering creek | G |
| - | |
| I hold my arms to you once more | H |
| For O my longing flesh is aching | D |
| And you your rocky throne forsaking | D |
| Come cool and radiant to the shore | H |
| - | |
| I see my girl of girls recline | I |
| On smooth rock sloping to the water | F |
| Then savagely have leapt and caught her | F |
| And limpid eyes look up at mine | I |
| - | |
| Love Love O Love the embracing sun | J |
| The trees the creek the earth our mother | F |
| Who made that hour give such another | F |
| And make us see us know us one | J |
