In A Monastery Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADED FGFGEHEH FIFIEJEJ DKDKEJEJ| OVER the long salt ridges | A |
| And the gold sea poppies between | B |
| They builded them wild briar hedges | C |
| A church and a cloistered green | B |
| And when they were done with their praises | A |
| And the tides on the Fore beat slow | D |
| Under the white cliff daisies | E |
| They laid them down in a row | D |
| - | |
| Porphyry Paul and Peter | F |
| Jasper and Joachim | G |
| Was the psaltery music sweeter | F |
| Than the throat of the thrush to him | G |
| Tired of their drones and their dirges | E |
| Where the young cliff rabbits play | H |
| Wet with the salt of the surges | E |
| They laid them down for a day | H |
| - | |
| One may not call to the other | F |
| There on the rim of the deep | I |
| Only the youngest brother | F |
| Lies and smiles in his sleep | I |
| When the wild swan's shadow passes | E |
| When the ripe fruit falls to the sod | J |
| When the faint moth flies in the grasses | E |
| He dreams in the hands of God | J |
| - | |
| Here for his hopes there follow | D |
| The violets one by one | K |
| The dove is here and the swallow | D |
| And the young leaf seeking the sun | K |
| And here when the last sail darkens | E |
| And the last lone path is trod | J |
| Under the rose he harkens | E |
| And smiles in the eyes of God | J |
