Little Things Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDAAEEFFGGThere's nothing very beautiful and nothing very gay | A |
About the rush of faces in the town by day | A |
But a light tan cow in a pale green mead | B |
That is very beautiful beautiful indeed | B |
And the soft March wind and the low March mist | C |
Are better than kisses in a dark street kissed | C |
The fragrance of the forest when it wakes at dawn | D |
The fragrance of a trim green village lawn | D |
The hearing of the murmur of the rain at play | A |
These things are beautiful beautiful as day | A |
And I shan't stand waiting for love or scorn | E |
When the feast is laid for a day new born | E |
Oh better let the little things I loved when little | F |
Return when the heart finds the great things brittle | F |
And better is a temple made of bark and thong | G |
Than a tall stone temple that may stand too long | G |
