Substratum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDECEF GHGHHIHII HGHGGAGAA JHJHHAHAA HKHLKAKAA AMAMMHMHHHear you r o music in the creaks | A |
Made by the sallow grasshopper | B |
Who in the hot weeds sharply breaks | A |
The mellow dryness with his cheer | C |
Or did you by the hearthstones hear | D |
The cricket's kind shrill strain when frost | E |
Worked mysteries of silver near | C |
Upon the casement's panes and lost | E |
Without the gate post seemed a sheeted ghost | F |
- | |
Or through the dank dim Springtide's night | G |
Green minstrels of the marshlands tune | H |
Their hoarse lyres in the pale twilight | G |
Hailing the sickle of the moon | H |
From flag thronged pools that glassed her lune | H |
Or in the Summer dry and loud | I |
The hard cicada whirr aboon | H |
His long lay in a poplar's cloud | I |
When the thin heat rose wraith like in a shroud | I |
- | |
The cloud that lids the naked moon | H |
And smites the myriad leaves with night | G |
Of stormy lashes livid strewn | H |
With veins of branched and splintered light | G |
The fruitful glebe with blossoms white | G |
The thistle's purple plume the tears | A |
Pearling the matin buds' delight | G |
Contain a something it appears | A |
'Neath their real selves a poetry that cheers | A |
- | |
Nor scoff at those who on the wold | J |
See fairies whirling in the shine | H |
Of prodigal moons whose lavish gold | J |
Paves wood ways forests wild with vine | H |
When all the wilderness with wine | H |
Of tipsy dew is dazed nor say | A |
Our God's restricted to confine | H |
His wonders solely to the day | A |
That yields the abstract tangible to clay | A |
- | |
Ponder the entrance of the Morn | H |
When from her rubric forehead far | K |
Shines one clean star and the dead tarn | H |
The wooded river's red as war | L |
Where arid splinters of the scar | K |
Lock horns above a blue abyss | A |
How roses prank each icy bar | K |
While piled aloft the mountains press | A |
Fling dawn below from many a hoary tress | A |
- | |
The jutting crags all stubborn veined | A |
With iron life where eaglets scream | M |
In dizzy flocks and cleave the stained | A |
Mist rainbows of the mountain stream | M |
Thus you will drink the thickest cream | M |
Of nature if you do not scan | H |
The bald external and must deem | M |
A plan existent in a plan | H |
As life in thrifty trees or soul in man | H |
