In Middle Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAA BCBCBCBCB DEDEDEDED FAFAFAFAFWhen the fields are rolled into naked gold | A |
And a ripple of fire and pearl is blent | A |
With the emerald surges of wood and wold | A |
Like a flower foam bursting violent | A |
When the dingles and deeps of the woodlands old | A |
Are glad with a sibilant life new sent | A |
Too rare to be told are the manifold | A |
Sweet fancies that quicken redolent | A |
In the heart that no longer is cold | A |
- | |
How it knows of the wings of the hawk that swings | B |
From the drippled dew scintillant seen | C |
Why the red bird hides where it sings and sings | B |
In melodious quiverings of green | C |
How the wind to the red bud and dogwood brings | B |
Big pearls of worth and corals of sheen | C |
Whiles he lisps to the strings of a lute that rings | B |
Of love in the South who is queen | C |
Where the fountain of poesy springs | B |
- | |
Go seek in the ray for a sworded fay | D |
The chestnut's buds into blooms that rips | E |
And look in the brook that runs laughing gay | D |
For the nymph with the laughing lips | E |
In the brake for the dryad whose eyes are gray | D |
From whose bosom the perfume drips | E |
The faun hid away where the grasses sway | D |
Thick ivy low down on his hips | E |
Pursed lips on a syrinx at play | D |
- | |
So ho for the rose the Romeo rose | F |
And the lyric he hides in his heart | A |
And ho for the epic the oak tree knows | F |
Sonorous and mighty in art | A |
The lily with woes that her white face shows | F |
Hath a satire she yearns to impart | A |
But none of those her hates and her foes | F |
For a heart that sings but for sport | A |
And shifts where the song wind blows | F |
