Nature Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFGFGHHIIIJJK KLLShe is gamesome and good | A |
But of mutable mood | B |
No dreary repeater now and again | C |
She will be all things to all men | C |
She who is old but nowise feeble | D |
Pours her power into the people | D |
Merry and manifold without bar | E |
Makes and moulds them what they are | E |
And what they call their city way | F |
Is not their way but hers | G |
And what they say they made to day | F |
They learned of the oaks and firs | G |
She spawneth men as mallows fresh | H |
Hero and maiden flesh of her flesh | H |
She drugs her water and her wheat | I |
With the flavors she finds meet | I |
And gives them what to drink and eat | I |
And having thus their bread and growth | J |
They do her bidding nothing loath | J |
What's most theirs is not their own | K |
But borrowed in atoms from iron and stone | K |
And in their vaunted works of Art | L |
The master stroke is still her part | L |
