In The Wood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DDEEDD FFGGFF FFHHFF DDIIDD JJKLJJ| The waterfall deep in the wood | A |
| Talked drowsily with solitude | B |
| A soft insistent sound of foam | C |
| That filled with sleep the forest's dome | C |
| Where like some dream of dusk she stood | A |
| Accentuating solitude | B |
| - | |
| The crickets' tinkling chips of sound | D |
| Strewed dim the twilight twinkling ground | D |
| A whippoorwill began to cry | E |
| And glimmering through the sober sky | E |
| A bat went on its drunken round | D |
| Its shadow following on the ground | D |
| - | |
| Then from a bush an elder copse | F |
| That spiced the dark with musky tops | F |
| What seemed at first a shadow came | G |
| And took her hand and spoke her name | G |
| And kissed her where in starry drops | F |
| The dew orbed on the elder tops | F |
| - | |
| The glaucous glow of fireflies | F |
| Flickered the dusk and foxlike eyes | F |
| Peered from the shadows and the hush | H |
| Murmured a word of wind and rush | H |
| Of fluttering waters fragrant sighs | F |
| And dreams unseen of mortal eyes | F |
| - | |
| The beetle flung its burr of sound | D |
| Against the hush and clung there wound | D |
| In night's deep mane then in a tree | I |
| A grig began deliberately | I |
| To file the stillness all around | D |
| A wire of shrillness seemed unwound | D |
| - | |
| I looked for those two lovers there | J |
| His ardent eyes her passionate hair | J |
| The moon looked down slow climbing wan | K |
| Heaven's slope of azure they were gone | L |
| But where they'd passed I heard the air | J |
| Sigh faint with sweetness of her hair | J |
