Dedication To M. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNEOPP QRMDSETQQDUV| Swing of the heart O firmly hung fastened on what | A |
| invisible branch Who who gave you the push | B |
| that you swung with me into the leaves | C |
| How near I was to the exquisite fruits But not staying | D |
| is the essence of this motion Only the nearness only | E |
| toward the forever too high all at once the possible | F |
| nearness Vicinities then | G |
| from an irresistibly swung up to place | H |
| already once again lost the new sight the outlook | I |
| And now the commanded return | J |
| back and across and into equilbrium's arms | K |
| Below in between hesitation the pull of earth the passage | L |
| through the turning point of the heavy past it and the | M |
| catapult stretches | N |
| weighted with the heart's curiosity | E |
| to the other side opposite upward | O |
| Again how different how new How they envy each other | P |
| at the ends of the rope these opposite halves of pleasure | P |
| - | |
| Or shall I dare it these quarters And include since it | Q |
| witholds itself | R |
| that other half circle the one whose impetus pushes the | M |
| swing | D |
| I'm not just imagining it as the mirror of my here and now | S |
| arc Guess nothing It will be | E |
| newer someday But from endpoint to endpoint | T |
| of the arc that I have most dared I already fully possess it | Q |
| overflowings from me plunge over to it and fill it | Q |
| stretch it apart almost And my own parting | D |
| when the force that pushes me someday | U |
| stops makes it all the more near | V |
