As In The Woodland I Walk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF CCC AAA| As in the woodland I walk many a strange thing I learn | A |
| How from the dross and the drift the beautiful things return | A |
| And the fires quenched in October in April reburn | A |
| - | |
| How foulness grows fair with the stern lustration of sleets and snows | B |
| And rottenness changes back to the breath and the cheek of the rose | B |
| And how gentle the wind that seems wild to each blossom that blows | B |
| - | |
| How the lost is ever found and the darkness the door of the light | C |
| And how soft the caress of the hand that to shape must not fear to smite | C |
| And how the dim pearl of the moon is drawn from the gulf of the night | C |
| - | |
| How when the great tree falls with its empire of rustling leaves | D |
| The earth with a thousand hands its sunlit ruin receives | D |
| And out of the wreck of its glory each secret artist weaves | D |
| - | |
| Splendours anew and arabesques and tints on his swaying loom | E |
| Soft as the eyes of April and black as the brows of doom | E |
| And the fires give back in blue eyed flowers the woodland they consume | E |
| - | |
| How when the streams run dry the thunder calls on the hills | F |
| And the clouds spout silver showers in the laps of the little rills | F |
| And each spring brims with the morning star and each thirsty fountain fills | F |
| - | |
| And how when the songs seemed ended and all the music mute | C |
| There is always somewhere a secret tune some string of a hidden lute | C |
| Lonely and undismayed that has faith in the flower and the fruit | C |
| - | |
| So I learn in the woods that all things come again | A |
| That sorrow turns to joy and that laughter is born of pain | A |
| That the burning gold of June is the gray of December's rain | A |
