Authorities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEF GGHHAAII IIAAJK| The unpretentious flowers of the woods | A |
| That rise in bright and banded brotherhoods | A |
| Waving us welcome and with kisses sweet | B |
| Laying their lives down underneath our feet | B |
| Lesson my soul more than the tomes of man | C |
| Packed with the lore of ages ever can | C |
| In love and truth hope and humility | D |
| And such unselfishness as to the bee | D |
| Lifting permissive petals dripping nard | E |
| Yields every sweet up asking no reward | F |
| - | |
| The many flowers of wood and field and stream | G |
| Filling our hearts with wonder and with dream | G |
| That know no ceremony yet that are | H |
| Attended of such reverence as that star | H |
| That punctual point of flame which to our eyes | A |
| Leads on the vast procession of the skies | A |
| Sidereal silver glittering in the west | I |
| Compels assertive of heaven's loveliest | I |
| - | |
| Where may one find suggestion simpler set | I |
| Than in the radius of a violet | I |
| Or more authentic loveliness than glows | A |
| In the small compass of a single rose | A |
| Or more of spiritual thought than perfumes from | J |
| The absolute purity of a lily bloom | K |
