The Rue-anemone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABABACCAC DDEDFDCCDC GHIGIGCCGC| Under an oak tree in a woodland where | A |
| The dreaming Spring had dropped it from her hair | A |
| I found a flower through which I seemed to gaze | B |
| Beyond the world and see what no man dare | A |
| Behold and live the myths of bygone days | B |
| Diana and Endymion and the bare | A |
| Slim beauty of the boy whom Echo wooed | C |
| And Hyacinthus whom Apollo dewed | C |
| With love and death and Daphne ever fair | A |
| And that reed slender girl whom Pan pursued | C |
| - | |
| I stood and gazed and through it seemed to see | D |
| The Dryad dancing by the forest tree | D |
| Her hair wild blown the Faun with listening ear | E |
| Deep in the boscage kneeling on one knee | D |
| Watching the wandered Oread draw near | F |
| Her wild heart beating like a honey bee | D |
| Within a rose All all the myths of old | C |
| All all the bright shapes of the Age of Gold | C |
| Peopling the wonder worlds of Poetry | D |
| Through it I seemed in fancy to behold | C |
| - | |
| What other flower that fashioned like a star | G |
| Draws its frail life from earth and braves the war | H |
| Of all the heavens can suggest the dreams | I |
| That this suggests in which no trace of mar | G |
| Or soil exists where stainless innocence seems | I |
| Enshrined and where beyond our vision far | G |
| That inaccessible beauty which the heart | C |
| Worships as truth and holiness and art | C |
| Is symbolized wherein embodied are | G |
| The things that make the soul's immortal part | C |
