Nature The Healer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDC EFEFGDGDG HCHCIDIDI JKJKLDLDL| When all the world has gone awry | A |
| And I myself least favour find | B |
| With my own self and but to die | A |
| And leave the whole sad coil behind | B |
| Seems but the one and only way | C |
| Should I but hear some water falling | D |
| Through woodland veils in early May | C |
| And small bird unto small bird calling | D |
| O then my heart is glad as they | C |
| - | |
| Lifted my load of cares and fled | E |
| My ghosts of weakness and despair | F |
| And unafraid I raise my head | E |
| And Life to do its utmost dare | F |
| Then if in its accustomed place | G |
| One flower I should chance find blowing | D |
| With lovely resurrected face | G |
| From Autumn's rust and Winter's snowing | D |
| I laugh to think of my disgrace | G |
| - | |
| A simple brook a simple flower | H |
| A simple wood in green array | C |
| What Nature thy mysterious power | H |
| To bind and heal our mortal clay | C |
| What mystic surgery is thine | I |
| Whose eyes of us seem all unheeding | D |
| That even so sad a heart as mine | I |
| Laughs at the wounds that late were bleeding | D |
| Yea sadder hearts O Power Divine | I |
| - | |
| I think we are not otherwise | J |
| Than all the children of thy knee | K |
| For so each furred and winged one flies | J |
| Wounded to lay its heart on thee | K |
| And strangely nearer to thy breast | L |
| Knows and yet knows not of thy healing | D |
| Asking but there awhile to rest | L |
| With wisdom beyond our revealing | D |
| Knows and yet knows not and is blest | L |
