The Forest Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFDDDDDDGG DDHHIIJJKKDDPush back the brambles berry blue | A |
The hollowed spring is full in view | A |
Deep tangled with luxuriant fern | B |
Its rock embedded crystal urn | B |
Not for the loneliness that keeps | C |
The coigne wherein its silence sleeps | C |
Not for wild butterflies that sway | D |
Their pansy pinions all the day | D |
Above its mirror nor the bee | E |
Nor dragon fly that passing see | E |
Themselves reflected in its spar | F |
Not for the one white liquid star | F |
That twinkles in its firmament | D |
Nor moon shot clouds so slowly sent | D |
Athwart it when the kindly night | D |
Beads all its grasses with the light | D |
Small jewels of the dimpled dew | D |
Not for the day's inverted blue | D |
Nor the quaint dimly coloured stones | G |
That dance within it where it moans | G |
Not for all these I love to sit | D |
In silence and to gaze in it | D |
But know a nymph with merry eyes | H |
Looks at me from its laughing skies | H |
A graceful glimmering nymph who plays | I |
All the long fragrant summer days | I |
With instant sights of bees and birds | J |
And speaks with them in water words | J |
And for whose nakedness the air | K |
Weaves moony mists and on whose hair | K |
Unfilleted the night will set | D |
That lone star as a coronet | D |
