The Dawning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDDDEEEEFFGGGG GGGGGGGG| Water lilies float down a silent stream | A |
| The watching swamphens and bank willows dream | A |
| At the passing of a fragrant blessing | B |
| Brought to them by a soft wind caressing | B |
| A nestling awakes sighs in treetops high | C |
| The morning star almost ceases to spy | C |
| A sweet silence breathes among the heather | D |
| A stillness in leaves gathered together | D |
| The twilight branches a glory capture | D |
| Held in wondrous suspense in still rapture | D |
| In them a mystery is unravelled | E |
| As if I had to all the stars travelled | E |
| And listened to old sea shells still unheard | E |
| They echo here in the song of a bird | E |
| The many untold secrets they contain | F |
| That s better than the fall of summer rain | F |
| In a lost wood where birds their sweet songs rang | G |
| And the angels with pipes tenderly sang | G |
| Here I walk in a soft rain awaking | G |
| My soul under bright clouds' tender weeping | G |
| My soul soft with the dew my soul dripping | G |
| One with teardrops on leafed trees glistening | G |
| One with the leaves on which they are singing | G |
| One with each branch where the leaves are sighing | G |
| One with the free air that s all pervading | G |
| And I gaze to where sunlight is breaking | G |
| High treetops are with the sky lovemaking | G |
| And my heart s there one with bright clouds sailing | G |
