Happiness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAB CCDDCD EEFFEF GGHHGI BBJJBK| There is a voice that calls to me a voice that cries deep down | A |
| That calls within my heart of hearts when Summer doffs her crown | A |
| When Summer doffs her crown my dear and by the hills and streams | B |
| The spirit of September walks through gold and purple gleams | B |
| It calls my heart beyond the mart beyond the street and town | A |
| To take again in sun or rain the oldtime trail of dreams | B |
| - | |
| Oh it is long ago my dear a weary time since we | C |
| Trod back the way we used to know by wildwood rock and tree | C |
| By mossy rock and tree dear Heart and sat below the hill | D |
| And watched the wheel the old mill wheel turn round on Babbit's mill | D |
| Or in the brook with line and hook to dronings of the bee | C |
| Waded or swam above the dam and drank of joy our fill | D |
| - | |
| The ironweed is purple now the blackeyed Susans nod | E |
| And by its banks weighed down with wet blooms bright the goldenrod | E |
| Blooms bright the goldenrod my dear and in the mist of morn | F |
| The gray hawk soars and screams and soars above the dripping corn | F |
| And by the pool cerulean cool the milkweed bursts its pod | E |
| As through the air the wild fanfare rings of the hunter's horn | F |
| - | |
| The hunter's horn we heard my dear that echoed 'mid the rocks | G |
| And cheered the hounds whose belling bay trailed far behind the fox | G |
| Trailed far behind the fox dear Heart whose den we oft had seen | H |
| A cave like place within the woods wild hid in trailing green | H |
| Old Owlet's Roost wherein we used to search with tangled locks | G |
| For buried gold where we were told the bandit's lair had been | I |
| - | |
| O gladness of the long gone years O boyhood's days and dreams | B |
| Again my soul would trace with you the oldtime Woods and streams | B |
| The oldtime woods and streams dear Heart and seek again I guess | J |
| The buried gold we sought of old and find it none the less | J |
| Still in the ground fast sealed and bound among the glooms and gleams | B |
| As long ago we left it so the gold of Happiness | K |
