A Letter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGGGIGJGGKLMG NJ J| Dear brother would you know the life | A |
| Please God that I would lead | B |
| On the first wheels that quit this weary town | C |
| Over yon western bridges I would ride | D |
| And with a cheerful benison forsake | E |
| Each street and spire and roof incontinent | F |
| Then would I seek where God might guide my steps | G |
| Deep in a woodland tract a sunny farm | H |
| Amid the mountain counties Hants Franklin Berks | G |
| Where down the rock ravine a river roars | G |
| Even from a brook and where old woods | G |
| Not tamed and cleared cumber the ground | I |
| With their centennial wrecks | G |
| Find me a slope where I can feel the sun | J |
| And mark the rising of the early stars | G |
| There will I bring my books my household gods | G |
| The reliquaries of my dead saint and dwell | K |
| In the sweet odor of her memory | L |
| Then in the uncouth solitude unlock | M |
| My stock of art plant dials in the grass | G |
| Hang in the air a bright thermometer | N |
| And aim a telescope at the inviolate sun | J |
