Encounter In The Chestnut Avenue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHI JKLC MNJO J| He felt the entrance's green darkness | A |
| wrapped cooly round him like a silken cloak | B |
| that he was still accepting and arranging | C |
| when at the opposite transparent end far off | D |
| - | |
| through green sunlight as through green window panes | E |
| whitely a solitary shape | F |
| flared up long remaining distant | G |
| and then finally the downdriving light | H |
| boiling over it at every step | I |
| - | |
| bearing on itself a bright pulsation | J |
| which in the blond ran shyly to the back | K |
| But suddenly the shade was deep | L |
| and nearby eyes lay gazing | C |
| - | |
| from a clear new unselfconscious face | M |
| which as in a portrait lived intensely | N |
| in the instant things split off again | J |
| first there forever and then not at all | O |
