Visions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG GIGI JGJG KBKB| When the snow was deep on the flower beds | A |
| And the sleet was caked on the brier | B |
| When the frost was down in the brown bulbs' heads | A |
| And the ways were clogged with mire | C |
| - | |
| When the wind to syringa and bare rose tree | D |
| Brought the phantoms of vanished flowers | E |
| And the days were sorry as sorry could be | D |
| And Time limped cursing his fardle of hours | E |
| - | |
| Heigho had I not a book and the logs | F |
| And I swear that I wasn't mistaken | G |
| But I heard the frogs croaking in far off bogs | H |
| And the brush sparrow's song in the braken | G |
| - | |
| And I strolled by paths which the Springtide knew | G |
| In her mossy dells by her ferny passes | I |
| Where the ground was holy with flowers and dew | G |
| And the insect life in the grasses | I |
| - | |
| And I knew the Spring as a lover who knows | J |
| His sweetheart to whom he has given | G |
| A kiss on the cheek that warmed its white rose | J |
| In her eyes brought the laughter of heaven | G |
| - | |
| For a poem I'd read a simple thing | K |
| A little lyric that had the power | B |
| To make the brush sparrow come and sing | K |
| And the winter woodlands flower | B |
