Jasper-s Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCAAADEEDAFFG GHHAAECAAC| WHO goes down through the slim green sallows | A |
| Soon so soon | B |
| Dawn is hard on the heels of the moon | B |
| But never a lily the day star knows | A |
| Is white so white as the one who goes | A |
| Armed and shod when the hyacinths darken | C |
| Then hark O harken | C |
| And rouse the moths from the deep rose mallows | A |
| Call the wild hares down from the fallows | A |
| Gather the silk of the young sea poppies | A |
| The bloom of the thistle the bells of the foam | D |
| Bind them all with a brown owl's feather | E |
| Snare the winds in a golden tether | E |
| Chase the clouds from the gipsy's weather and follow O follow the white spring home | D |
| Who goes past with the wind that chilled us | A |
| Late so late | F |
| Fortune leans on the farmer's gate | F |
| Watching the round sun low in the south | G |
| - | |
| With a plume in his cap and a rose at his mouth | G |
| But O for the folk who were free and merry | H |
| There's never so much as a red rose berry | H |
| But old earth's warm as the wine that filled us | A |
| And the fox and the little gray mouse skull build us | A |
| Walls of the sweet green gloom of the cedar | E |
| A roof of bracken a curtain of whin | C |
| One more rouse ere the bowl reposes | A |
| Low in the dust of our lost red roses | A |
| One more song ere the cold night closes and welcome O welcome the dark death in | C |
