Unfulfilled Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DE FF GG HH CC II JJ KK LL MM NN GG OO PP QQ RR SS RR TU VVIn my dream last night it seemed I stood | A |
With a boy's glad heart in my boyhood's wood | A |
- | |
The beryl green and the cairngorm brown | B |
Of the day through the deep leaves sifted down | B |
- | |
The rippling drip of a passing shower | C |
Rinsed wild aroma from herb and flower | C |
- | |
The splash and urge of a waterfall | D |
Spread stairwayed rocks with a crystal caul | E |
- | |
And I waded the pool where the gravel gray | F |
And the last year's leaf like a topaz lay | F |
- | |
And searched the strip of the creek's dry bed | G |
For the colored keel and the arrow head | G |
- | |
And I found the cohosh coigne the same | H |
Tossing with torches of pearly flame | H |
- | |
The owlet dingle of vine and brier | C |
That the butterfly weed flecked fierce with fire | C |
- | |
The elder edge with its warm perfume | I |
And the sapphire stars of the bluet bloom | I |
- | |
The moss the fern and the touch me not | J |
I breathed and the mint smell keen and hot | J |
- | |
And I saw the bird that sang its best | K |
In the moted sunlight building its nest | K |
- | |
And I saw the chipmunk's stealthy face | L |
And the rabbit crouched in a grassy place | L |
- | |
And I watched the crows that cawed and cried | M |
Hunting the hawk at the forest side | M |
- | |
The bees that sucked in the blossoms slim | N |
And the wasps that built on the lichened limb | N |
- | |
And felt the silence the dusk the dread | G |
Of the spot where they buried the unknown dead | G |
- | |
The water murmur the insect hum | O |
And a far bird calling Come oh come | O |
- | |
What sweeter music can mortals make | P |
To ease the heart of its human ache | P |
- | |
And it seemed in my dream that was all too true | Q |
That I met in the woods again with you | Q |
- | |
A sun tanned face and brown bare knees | R |
And a hand stained red with dewberries | R |
- | |
And we stood a moment some thing to tell | S |
And then in the woods we said farewell | S |
- | |
But once I met you yet lo it seems | R |
Again and again we meet in dreams | R |
- | |
And I ask my soul what it all may mean | T |
If this is the love that should have been | U |
- | |
And oft and again I wonder Can | V |
What God intends be changed by man | V |
