Green Silence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI| Silence whose drowsy eyelids are soft leaves | A |
| And whose half sleeping eyes are the blue flowers | B |
| On whose still breast the water lily heaves | A |
| For all her speech the whisper of the showers | B |
| - | |
| Made of all things that in the water sway | C |
| The quiet reed kissing the arrowhead | D |
| The willows murmuring all a summer day | C |
| Silence sweet word and ne'er so softly said | D |
| - | |
| As here along this path of brooding peace | E |
| Where all things dream and nothing else is done | F |
| But all such gentle businesses as these | G |
| Of leaves and rippling wind and setting sun | F |
| - | |
| Turning the stream to a long lane of gold | H |
| Where the young moon shall walk with feet of pearl | I |
| And framed in sleeping lilies fold on fold | H |
| Gaze at herself like any mortal girl | I |
