I Thought, Before My Sunlit Twentieth Year Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDDHAIFH GI thought before my sunlit twentieth year | A |
That I knew Love and Death that goes with it | B |
And my young broken heart in little songs | C |
Dew like I poured and waited for my end | D |
Wildly and waited being then nineteen | E |
I walked a little longer on my way | F |
Alive 'gainst expectation and desire | G |
And being then past twenty I beheld | D |
The face of all the faces of the world | D |
Dewily opening on its stem for me | H |
Ah so it seemed and each succeeding year | A |
Thus hath some woman blossom of the divine | I |
Flowered in my path and made a frail delay | F |
In my true journey to my home in thee | H |
