Lost In The Forest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFBB CBG GHI| Lost in the forest I broke off a dark twig | A |
| and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips | B |
| maybe it was the voice of the rain crying | C |
| a cracked bell or a torn heart | D |
| - | |
| Something from far off it seemed | E |
| deep and secret to me hidden by the earth | F |
| a shout muffled by huge autumns | B |
| by the moist half open darkness of the leaves | B |
| - | |
| Wakening from the dreaming forest there the hazel sprig | C |
| sang under my tongue its drifting fragrance | B |
| climbed up through my conscious mind | G |
| - | |
| as if suddenly the roots I had left behind | G |
| cried out to me the land I had lost with my childhood | H |
| and I stopped wounded by the wandering scent | I |
