A Day In The Open Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDDEE AAFGGFHHHII AAJKKJGGGLL| Ho a day | A |
| Whereon we may up and away | A |
| With a fetterless wind that is out on the downs | B |
| And there piping a call to the fallow and shore | C |
| Where the sea evermore | C |
| Surgeth over the gray reef and drowns | B |
| The fierce rocks with white foam | D |
| It is ours with untired feet to roam | D |
| Where the pines in green gloom of wide vales make their murmuring home | D |
| Or the pools that the sunlight hath kissed | E |
| Mirror back a blue sky that is winnowed of cloud and of mist | E |
| - | |
| Ho a day | A |
| Whereon we may up and away | A |
| Through the orient distances hazy and pied | F |
| Hand in hand with the gypsying breezes that blow | G |
| Here and there to and fro | G |
| O'er the meadows all rosy and wide | F |
| Where a lyric of flowers | H |
| Is sweet sung to the frolicking hours | H |
| And the merry buds letter the foot steps of tip toeing showers | H |
| We may climb where the steep is beset | I |
| With a turbulent waterfall loving to clamor and fret | I |
| - | |
| Ho a day | A |
| Whereon we may up and away | A |
| To the year that is holding her cup of wild wine | J |
| If we drink we shall be as the gods of the wold | K |
| In the blithe days of old | K |
| Elate with a laughter divine | J |
| Yea and then we shall know | G |
| The rare magic of solitude so | G |
| We shall nevermore wish its delight and its dreams to forego | G |
| And our blood will upstir and upleap | L |
| With a fellowship splendid a gladness impassioned and deep | L |
