After Long Drought Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEED| After long drought commotion in the sky | A |
| After dead silence thunder Then it comes | B |
| The rain It slashes leaves and doubly drums | B |
| On tin and shingle beats and bends awry | A |
| The flower heads puddles dust and with a sigh | A |
| Like love sinks into grasses where it hums | B |
| As bees did once among chrysanthemums | B |
| And asters when the summer thought to die | A |
| - | |
| The whole world dreamed of this and has it now | C |
| Nor was the waking easy The dull root | D |
| Is jealous of its death the sleepy brow | C |
| Smiles in its slumber and a heart can fear | E |
| The very flood it longed for roaring near | E |
| The spirit best remembers being mute | D |
