In An Old Town Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KLML NOPO QRSR TUIU| Shut from the clamor of the street | A |
| By an old wall with lichen grown | B |
| It holds apart from jar and fret | C |
| A peace and beauty all its own | B |
| - | |
| The freshness of the springtime rains | D |
| And dews of morning linger here | E |
| It holds the glow of summer noons | F |
| And ripest twilights of the year | G |
| - | |
| Above its bloom the evening stars | H |
| Look down at closing of the day | I |
| And in its sweet and shady walks | J |
| Winds spent with roaming love to stray | I |
| - | |
| Upgathering to themselves the breath | K |
| Of wide blown roses white and red | L |
| The spice of musk and lavender | M |
| Along its winding alleys shed | L |
| - | |
| Outside are shadeless troubled streets | N |
| And souls that quest for gold and gain | O |
| Lips that have long forgot to smile | P |
| And hearts that burn and ache with pain | O |
| - | |
| But here is all the sweet of dreams | Q |
| The grace of prayer the boon of rest | R |
| The spirit of old songs and loves | S |
| Dwells in this garden blossom blest | R |
| - | |
| Here would I linger for a space | T |
| And walk herein with memory | U |
| The world will pass me as it may | I |
| And hope will minister to me | U |
