In The Early, Pearly Morning: Song By Valgovind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEBB FFGG HHII AAJK| The fields are full of Poppies and the skies are very blue | A |
| By the Temple in the coppice I wait Beloved for you | A |
| The level land is sunny and the errant air is gay | B |
| With scent of rose and honey will you come to me to day | B |
| - | |
| From carven walls above me smile lovers many a pair | C |
| Oh take this rose and love me she has twined it in her hair | C |
| He advances she retreating pursues and holds her fast | D |
| The sculptor left them meeting in a close embrace at last | D |
| - | |
| Through centuries together in the carven stone they lie | E |
| In the glow of golden weather and endless azure sky | E |
| Oh that we who have for pleasure so short and scant a stay | B |
| Should waste our summer leisure will you come to me to day | B |
| - | |
| The Temple bells are ringing for the marriage month has come | F |
| I hear the women singing and the throbbing of the drum | F |
| And when the song is failing or the drums a moment mute | G |
| The weirdly wistful wailing of the melancholy flute | G |
| - | |
| Little life has got to offer and little man to lose | H |
| Since to day Fate deigns to proffer Oh wherefore then refuse | H |
| To take this transient hour in the dusky Temple gloom | I |
| While the poppies are in flower and the mangoe trees abloom | I |
| - | |
| And if Fate remember later and come to claim her due | A |
| What sorrow will be greater than the Joy I had with you | A |
| For to day lit by your laughter between the crushing years | J |
| I will chance in the hereafter eternities of tears | K |
