Along The Sun-drenched Roadside Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKL| Along the sun drenched roadside from the great | A |
| hollow half treetrunk which for generations | B |
| has been a trough renewing in itself | C |
| an inch or two of rain I satisfy | D |
| my thirst taking the water's pristine coolness | E |
| into my whole body through my wrists | F |
| Drinking would be too powerful too clear | G |
| but this unhurried gesture of restraint | H |
| fills my whole consciousness with shining water | I |
| - | |
| Thus if you came I could be satisfied | J |
| to let my hand rest lightly for a moment | K |
| lightly upon your shoulder or your breast | L |
