Since Then Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDCDC EFEFE GHGHGI found myself among the trees | A |
What time the reapers ceased to reap | B |
And in the sunflower blooms the bees | A |
Huddled brown heads and went to sleep | B |
Rocked by the balsam breathing breeze | A |
- | |
I saw the red fox leave his lair | C |
A shaggy shadow on the knoll | D |
And tunneling his thoroughfare | C |
Beneath the soil I watched the mole | D |
Stealth's own self could not take more care | C |
- | |
I heard the death moth tick and stir | E |
Slow honeycombing through the bark | F |
I heard the cricket's drowsy chirr | E |
And one lone beetle burr the dark | F |
The sleeping woodland seemed to purr | E |
- | |
And then the moon rose and one white | G |
Low bough of blossoms grown almost | H |
Where ere you died 'twas our delight | G |
To meet dear heart I thought your ghost | H |
The wood is haunted since that night | G |
