A Tale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH CC| This youth too long has heard the break | A |
| Of waters in a land of change | B |
| He goes to see what suns can make | A |
| From soil more indurate and strange | B |
| - | |
| He cuts what holds his days together | C |
| And shuts him in as lock on lock | D |
| The arrowed vane announcing weather | C |
| The tripping racket of a clock | D |
| - | |
| Seeking I think a light that waits | E |
| Still as a lamp upon a shelf | F |
| A land with hills like rocky gates | E |
| Where no sea leaps upon itself | F |
| - | |
| But he will find that nothing dares | G |
| To be enduring save where south | H |
| Of hidden deserts torn fire glares | G |
| On beauty with a rusted mouth | H |
| - | |
| Where something dreadful and another | C |
| Look quietly upon each other | C |
