April Rise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH AIEA CCJC KCCC| If ever I saw blessing in the air | A |
| I see it now in this still early day | B |
| Where lemon green the vaporous morning drips | C |
| Wet sunlight on the powder of my eye | D |
| - | |
| Blown bubble film of blue the sky wraps round | E |
| Weeds of warm light whose every root and rod | F |
| Splutters with soapy green and all the world | G |
| Sweats with the bead of summer in its bud | H |
| - | |
| If ever I heard blessing it is there | A |
| Where birds in trees that shoals and shadows are | I |
| Splash with their hidden wings and drops of sound | E |
| Break on my ears their crests of throbbing air | A |
| - | |
| Pure in the haze the emerald sun dilates | C |
| The lips of sparrows milk the mossy stones | C |
| While white as water by the lake a girl | J |
| Swims her green hand among the gathered swans | C |
| - | |
| Now as the almond burns its smoking wick | K |
| Dropping small flames to light the candled grass | C |
| Now as my low blood scales its second chance | C |
| If ever world were blessed now it is | C |
