The Forest Of Old Enchantment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCDCDCDEFEFEGHI JIHIKLMLKL| Squaw Berry bramble Solomon's seal | A |
| And rattlesnake weed make wild the place | B |
| You seem to feel that a Faun will steal | A |
| Or leap before your face | B |
| Is that the reel of a Satyr's heel | A |
| Or the brook in its headlong race | B |
| Yellow puccoon and the blue eyed grass | C |
| And briars a riot of bloom | D |
| And now from the mass of that sassafras | C |
| What is it shakes perfume | D |
| A Nymph who has for her looking glass | C |
| That pool in the mossy gloom | D |
| Mile on mile of the trees and vines | E |
| And rock and fern and root | F |
| What is it pines where the wild grape twines | E |
| A dove or Pan's own flute | F |
| And there what shines into rosy lines | E |
| A flower or Dryad's foot | G |
| White plantain bluet and golden clear | H |
| The crowfoot's earth bound star | I |
| Now what draws near to the spirit ear | J |
| A god or a sunbeam bar | I |
| And what do we hear with a sense of fear | H |
| Diana or winds afar | I |
| If we but thought as the old Greeks thought | K |
| And knew what the ancients knew | L |
| Then Beauty sought of the soul were caught | M |
| And breathed into being too | L |
| And' out of naught were the real wrought | K |
| And the dream of the world made true | L |
